Eucalyptus Cinerea Silver Dollar
Dollar Tree is a small evergreen tree or shrub native to Australia. It can grow rapidly (6-8 feet in one season). The leaves are round, fragrant and an attractive silver color, hence the common name, silver dollar tree. The bark is reddish brown and peels on smaller stems and becomes gray and stringy on the trunk as the tree matures.
In its native environment, it can reach 60 feet. In cold climates these plants are commonly grown in containers as either shrubs or annuals. Container plants can be placed on patios or sunk into the ground, but must be brought indoors in fall before first frost for overwintering. This plant is moderately salt-tolerant. It is grown primarily for its foliage but rarely produces flowers. The foliage is fragrant and is frequently used in floral arrangements.
Minor skin irritation can occur when handling bark or leaves. Plant oil is extremely toxic, especially if large quantities are ingested.
