Eucalyptus dalrympleana is a really beautiful tree with pale grey to white mottled bark turning a spectacular pink and grey in the late summer. At minus 15°C in an exposed position this tree appears very happy. The sight of a full grown tree covered with hard frost in mid winter or covered with snow white blossom in spring is quite special. The blue/grey adult leaves are long and scythe like, very often showing red tints on the old leaves - but again beware, this is a fast and large growing tree although the canopy is thin and graceful.
