Snow Gum, Tamanian Snow Gum

Description

Tasmanian Snow Gum will grow to a stately tree in good growing conditions but at higher altitudes it is dwarfed and has contorted trunks or a prostrate habit. It is prized as a garden specimen because of its decorative trunk and foliage. It sheds it bark in long ribbons during late summer and autumn revealing yellow to pinkish bark.
