Ghost gum is one of the moderately-sized Eucalyptus species, eventually reaching 40' x 20' wide. Tree form can vary from a shorter, multi-trunk specimen to a narrow, single-trunk tree. Plants are somewhat frost tender, but tolerate full sun, reflected heat, neglect, and a wide range of soil types. Has a semi-weeping habit and produces little litter.

Frost tolerant to 20 F.
