How to care for your Eucalyptus gunnii 'Blue Breeze': Eucalyptus is actually native to Australia, where it can grow very large and old. However, it also thrives in other parts of the world. It prefers a sunny and sheltered location, ideally in humus-rich soil. Water your plant regularly. Good drainage helps prevent waterlogging. In spring, the eucalyptus benefits from slow-release fertilizer. To enjoy the glossy blue leaves of your eucalyptus all year round, you should overwinter it in a bright location at around 10–15 °C (50–59 °F). Eucalyptus grows quickly, adding 30–50 centimeters (12–20 inches) per year. Pruning isn't strictly necessary, but it tolerates pruning well, and it encourages branching. With proper care, you can enjoy your exotic plant for many years.
