Monkeys would have a blast swinging from the branches that twist and turn on the ‘Funky Monkey’ Eucalyptus. The branch structure of older trees takes on an exotic looking growth habit with strikingly beautiful peeling bark. The trunks are smooth grey, green and brown with peeling bark that reveals pink patches of underbark. The small, rounded, grey-green juvenile leaves change over to a narrow, elongated, pendulous leaves as they mature, lining the semi-weeping branches. This is a great one for cutting and use in foliage or flower arrangements.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6b, where this Eucalyptus tree variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

‘Funky Monkey’ Eucalyptus is very adaptable and easy to establish and will constantly reward you with its fragrance, foliage, bark. It thrives it moist or dry soils and will tolerate alkaline conditions. It prefers full sun but will tolerate some light shade. It responds well to pruning if you want to control its size. If you leave it to grow naturally it will mature at up to 30 feet in height. A new addition to the Southern Eucs Series, like the others, ‘Funky Monkey’ is quite cold hardy, thriving as far north in the United States as USDA Hardiness Zone 7a. Find Your Zone
