Sorry Alek. Almost impossible to accurately ID a Euc with just leaf and bark. The best we could do is narrow the possibilities down to a few dozen.
This one has really nice white bark. Do you know if the mature ones also have that powdery white bark?
If you know its natural habitat that will help narrow the possibilities again but if it is from a nursery or grown from a tree that has been planted we won't have that info.
Final, definitive ID of Eucs is by flower buds and seed pods
