Blue gum
Eucalyptus globulus
Blue gum eucalyptus is a vigorous, fast-growing tree that thrives in full sun with regular deep watering while it establishes, then becomes quite self-sufficient. It is best suited to large outdoor spaces as it can reach enormous heights and has an extensive root system. Prune young trees to shape and be mindful of local regulations, as it can be aggressive in some climates.
