Myrtaceae - No shipment to Western Australia or Tasmania
 
Eucalyptus pleurocarpa, commonly known as Tallerack is found naturally in to southern Western Australia and is a small Mallee shrub with a rounded habit to some 5m in height and 3m in width.
 
This species is readily identified by the glaucous foliage, stems, buds and fruits that glow pale blue and white even from a distance.  The crown of this species is composed completely of glaucous juvenile leaves, Eucalyptus pleurocarpa is unusual in that it retains this juvenile foliage for life.
 
The white flowers are arranged in threes and are often grouped towards the ends of branches, which coupled with the large white square fruits can produce interesting and attractive displays over several months, although Spring to Summer is when they usually flower.
 
The glaucous blue white leaves and large buds are popular long lived floristry fillers.
 
If left to its own resources this tree can become messy, so it does respond well to pruning and works well when planted with other natives. 
 
It is found in coastal locations on clay, loam and sand and in acidic, neutral and alkaline soils and is drought tolerant once established but only lightly frost tolerant.
 
Although if left they can become messy, they do respond well to pruning and work well when planted with other natives.
