Eucalyptus pulverulenta, or Silver-leaved Mountain Gum, is a small, hardy Australian native known for its striking silvery-blue, rounded juvenile leaves that it retains into maturity, making it popular for floristry (like the 'Baby Blue' variety). This mallee or small tree produces creamy flowers and large gumnuts, tolerates various soils, and responds well to pruning to maintain its attractive foliage, offering year-round ornamental appeal, drought resistance, and habitat for bees.
