Traditionally used as a source of eucalyptus oil, the leaves have long been associated with aromatherapy, air purification and household remedies. The oil is widely used in cough drops, chest rubs and cleaning products due to its distinctive fragrance and strong antiseptic properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"921\" data-start=\"466\"\u003eUnlike the towering forms of Blue Gum, this compact selection can be maintained as a dense shrub or small tree through regular pruning, making it suitable for larger gardens, shelter plantings and productive landscapes. The foliage is highly fragrant, releasing its characteristic scent when crushed or warmed by the sun. Creamy white flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects, while the dense growth habit provides habitat for birds and wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"957\" data-start=\"923\"\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1129\" data-start=\"959\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"988\" data-start=\"959\"\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"991\" data-start=\"988\"\u003eTropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr data-end=\"1019\" data-start=\"1016\"\u003eSubtropics: Autumn to spring\u003cbr data-end=\"1050\" data-start=\"1047\"\u003eMild climates: Spring and autumn\u003cbr data-end=\"1085\" data-start=\"1082\"\u003eCold climates: Spring after frost has passed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1640\" data-start=\"1131\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1152\" data-start=\"1131\"\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"1155\" data-start=\"1152\"\u003eSow seed onto the surface of a fine, free-draining seed raising mix and lightly press into the soil without covering deeply, as light assists germination. Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged and maintain good airflow around seedlings. Position in a bright location with filtered light until germination occurs. Transplant carefully once seedlings are large enough to handle. Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Prune regularly if a smaller, bushier growth habit is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot Available for WA or TAS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eden Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":46649649594586,"sku":null,"price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/4866\/8890\/files\/download_5c331b86-b3d7-401f-afc7-a40a05167dac.jpg?v=1754016769","url":"https:\/\/www.edenseeds.com.au\/products\/trees-bushy-blue-gum-1920","provider":"Eden Seeds ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
