Eucalyptus neglecta is a rapidly growing evergreen tree during its early years, though its growth rate diminishes as it matures. It typically achieves a height of approximately 10 meters (33 feet). The tree's smooth bark exhibits a range of colors, from yellow-green to greyish-brown. Juvenile foliage is notably large, rounded, and features a hint of purple, while the mature leaves are broadly lanceolate and a medium green. Both the foliage and young stems release a strong aroma when crushed. In summer, the tree produces clusters of white flowers, which can number up to fifteen in each group.

Eucalyptus neglecta 'Dargo Plains' is a robust, evergreen shrub that can develop into a tree, typically attaining heights of approximately 7 meters. Its large, aromatic leaves are round and jade-green, often resembling oversized bay leaves and occasionally displaying a hint of purple. The bark is smooth, exhibiting shades that range from greenish-yellow to greyish-brown. From July to August, clusters of small white flowers bloom, adding seasonal interest. This species thrives in wet soils and can tolerate shaded environments, making it suitable for creating a fast-growing privacy screen. Additionally, it offers a winter roosting habitat for small birds like goldfinches. Note that in strong winds, the foliage may become shredded.

Eucalyptus nicholii is a robust tree that can reach heights of up to 18 meters, characterized by its open, rounded canopy and pendulous branches. The bark is brown and fissured, adding texture to its appearance. Juvenile leaves are linear and drooping, measuring up to 7 centimeters in length, while the adult leaves are narrower and can grow to 13 centimeters. Both types of leaves are attached to red stems and emit a peppermint fragrance when crushed. In the autumn, this species produces clusters, usually consisting of seven, white flowers, which are succeeded by woody fruits that are rounded to bell-shaped.

Eucalyptus pauciflora is a broad, evergreen tree that typically reaches heights of 15 to 20 meters. Its bark, which ranges from white to light grey, peels away to expose patches of yellow, bronze, and green. The young shoots exhibit shades of yellow or red. The juvenile leaves are elliptical and have a pinkish-bronze hue, transitioning to grey-green as they mature. Adult leaves are glossy, sickle-shaped, and can grow up to 20 centimeters long, featuring prominent parallel veins. In spring and summer, this species produces clusters of 9 to 15 white flowers, which are followed by woody fruits that are cup-shaped to funnel-shaped.

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. acerina

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. debeuzevillei is an evergreen tree that typically reaches heights of 8 to 12 meters. It features bark that is mottled in shades of cream and green. The juvenile foliage consists of broadly elliptic, blue-green leaves, while the mature leaves are lance-shaped. In late spring and early summer, the tree produces small cream-colored flowers from its white buds.

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. hedraia

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. niphophila is a compact, spreading evergreen tree characterized by its distinctive bark, which sheds in summer to reveal patches of cream, grey, and green. The young shoots are coated with a white waxy layer, and the foliage consists of narrow, leathery leaves that are grey-green in color. This species produces white to cream flowers from late spring through summer.

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. niphophila 'Snow Cream' (v)

Eucalyptus pauciflora subsp. niphophila, native to Mount Bogong, is a compact, slow-growing variety that typically reaches a height of approximately 8 meters (27 feet). Its bark is smooth, displaying a mix of cream and white tones with hints of cinnamon and pink. The juvenile leaves are ovate and exhibit a blue-green color, transitioning to sickle-shaped, blue-green leaves as they mature. When crushed, the young growth and leaves release a moderate fragrance. In the summer, this species produces white flowers that emit a honey-like scent.

Eucalyptus perriniana is a small tree or large shrub, typically reaching heights of 4 to 10 meters. It features a branching structure that starts at the base and is characterized by its smooth, peeling bark, which can appear off-white, grey, or green. The juvenile foliage consists of rounded, aromatic leaves in a bluish-green hue, while the mature foliage consists of elongated, pendant, lance-shaped leaves that can grow up to 12 centimeters in length. In summer, this species produces clusters of three white or cream flowers.

Eucalyptus pulverulenta is a small tree or large shrub that can reach heights of up to 10 meters. Its bark is smooth, varying in color from grey to bronze, and it peels off in strips. The juvenile leaves are typically round to heart-shaped, measuring up to 5 cm in length and width, and are generally kept by mature specimens. Occasionally, mature plants will develop oval to lance-shaped leaves that are dull grey-blue and can grow as long as 10 cm. The plant produces cream-colored, fluffy flowers that appear in clusters of three.
