Eucalyptus cinerea, commonly known as Argyle Apple or Silver Dollar Gum, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree cherished for its striking silvery-blue foliage. Native to the cooler regions of southeastern Australia, this ornamental species has rounded juvenile leaves arranged in opposite pairs along the stems, giving it a soft, sculptural appearance that’s especially popular in floral arrangements and garden design. As the tree matures, its foliage becomes more elongated and lance-shaped, while its bark develops a rough, fibrous texture in shades of grey and brown. Creamy white flowers appear in clusters during the warmer months, adding seasonal interest. Compact and visually distinctive, Argyle Apple is ideal for feature planting, foliage contrast, or use in low-maintenance and drought-tolerant gardens.
