Eucalyptus Cinerea

Light: Full sun. In Phoenix, protect newly planted trees from intense reflected heat while roots establish.

Water: Water deeply and regularly during establishment. Once established, allow soil to dry partly between deep irrigations; supplemental summer water is important in Phoenix’s extreme heat.

Soil: Well-drained sandy or loamy soil preferred; tolerates alkaline soil if drainage is adequate. Avoid waterlogged sites.

Mature size: Typically 20–40 feet tall and 15–25 feet wide in landscapes; potentially larger under favorable conditions.

Bloom: Small flowers generally appear in spring to early summer on established trees; timing varies with local conditions.

Evergreen / deciduous: Evergreen.

Growth rate: Fast with adequate moisture; slower under dry conditions.
