    Does anyone have any experience with this lovely little dwarf blue eucalyptus?

    Thinking of getting one for my pet koala ;) but not sure how it will grow

      I've seen them before and recommend one to somebody who likes the smell of eucalyptus. The leaves are on the small side so it probably wouldn't take long for your koala to strip it of its leaves if left to its own devises.
      Wish I had a pet koala :)

        :catapult:Ha ha...
        You are dead right Perki. Koalas will have a field day:)
        I think it’s a nice plant though....I have Gunnii and foliage is wonderful on its own or as a foil to other plants :)

          Could this be a dwarf variety of spruce?
