This dwarf native green gum is perfect for privacy screening in a smaller garden. The long fine bright green foliage is openly spaced to block out the sun on hot days, and allow winter light to filter through to shine on the plants below.

This tree also does not mind being cut very hard back (coppiced) to create informal hedging.

We love Winter Light for its light airy feel, neat size for smaller gardens, bright leaf colour
