The snow eucalyptus also survives harsh winters
useful information
The snow eucalyptus not only stands out from other deciduous trees because of its unique appearance. Even in the genus of eucalypts, it represents a special feature. Since it thrives in Australia at altitudes of 1300-1800 meters, it is used to cold temperatures. It is therefore considered the hardiest eucalyptus and can stay in the garden all year round without any problems.
When sowing, you don't have to be guided by the seasons either. If you grow the snow eucalyptus indoors, you can grow it at any time.

Why isn't my snow eucalyptus blooming?
The tree owes its name to snow eucalyptus to its snowball-like, white blossom. Unfortunately, self-grown eucalypts have the property of not forming flowers. But the Australian deciduous tree has other advantages. For example, its reddish-brown bark is impressive.
