[NATURAL] Eucalypt (? Ironbark)

Post by sjc »

Bought about 30 native tube stock for $3 each from my council nursery including this one in september... and promptly lost the bit of paper that I had written the species down on. Certain its a eucalypt.

I put it in an orchid pot, chopped the trunk and tried not to kill it.

Hi sjc,

Hahaha, we’ve all done that before.
Good luck with your entries.
Great to hear you’re starting a good native collection.

:yes:
