Eucalyptus pulverulenta, commonly known as silver-leaved mountain gum, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree or mallee native to temperate grasslands, woodlands, and forests in the tablelands of southern New South Wales, Australia. It typically grows to a height of 16-30 feet (5-9 meters) and can form a lignotuber, which allows it to resprout after fire or other damage. The bark is smooth and can range from greenish to gray or brown, often with a powdery or glaucous coating that gives the foliage a silvery appearance.

The silver-leaved mountain gum is notable for its striking juvenile foliage, which remains on the tree throughout its life. The leaves are egg-shaped to round or heart-shaped, arranged in opposite pairs, and have a distinctive silvery-blue hue that is highly valued in floral arrangements. Flowering occurs from May to November, with white flowers that are typically arranged in groups of three. The flowers are followed by woody, cup-shaped to cylindrical fruit. This species is appreciated for its ornamental value, particularly for its unusual foliage and as a cut flower in arrangements. It is used in cultivation for urban planting, as a feature tree, and in windbreaks. It requires full sun and can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. While it is drought-tolerant, it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.CC BY-SA 4.0
