Eucalyptus coccifera
Common name: Tasmanian snow gum
The Tasmanian snow gum has creamy-white flowers that appear in the summer. These trees were planted fairly recently and were chosen in part for their high tolerance of frost, drought and exposed conditions. Their year-round attractive foliage has a scent similar to peppermint. In a past harsh winter, the Eucalyptus that used to grow here suffered badly from the freezing snow and ice and had to be removed. You may be surprised to know that this part of the Garden is among the second highest in Vancouver, Queen Elizabeth Park being the highest. Hence this exposed area can be susceptible to winter cold, winds and summer heat. February/March 2020 Self-guided Tour, Contributor: Vivien Clarke
