One of the most ornamental and elective trees among the Eucalyptus. Very desirable for small gardens. globulus (Tasmanian Blue Gum)—One of the most useful of all and a very rapid grower.

A very thrifty and attractive tree. polyanthema—A moderate grower, perfectly hardy. Timber very valuable for underground work, being remarkably hard and durable.
