Juvenile leaves of E. urnigera in my garden. The leaves and stems of this form have a very attractive almost purplish hue and distinct ruffled margins.
Intermediate and adult leaves of E. urnigera in my garden. This is a shrubby form from Mt. Wellington that will probably only grow 30-40' high.
Another shot of the leaves of the above tree.
This gnarled, shrubby E. urnigera on Mt. Wellington, Tasmania is the parent of the tree pictured just above. They take on quite a different appearance in cultivation. Photo courtesy of Luke Isham.
Intermediate leaves of E. urnigera. This form from farther inland in Tasmania ought to make a tall tree. This species is definitely among my top few personal favorite eucs and I have planted quite a lot of them.
This tree at the Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, WA is labeled as E. urnigera. It probably is, but it looks an awful lot like one of the swamp gums too. There are green forms of E. urnigera but these leaves are awfully broad for E. urnigera. It apparently survived the December 1998 freeze without too much damage anyways.
A closer shot of the leaves of this tree. The seed capsules would of course confirm its identity if they had been present.
