[ANBITA] - Eucalyptus

Post by Steve Warren »

[ANBITA] Eucalyptus (not yet sure of species) possibly Camaldulensis

I collected this little tree (see 2nd image) from under power lines cutting across a friends property in early October 2011. I have done very little to it except pruning and a repot. I am trying very hard to keep it at Shohin size. I am wondering if this is going to be possible long term or am I better to get it in the ground and let it go crazy for a couple of years and produce a larger tree.

Not sure what has happened, but my images are coming up in a random order to how I listed them when posting.

If it were not for my trees, maybe I could see the forest.

:clap:

I think keeping it to shohin size is very achievable & you have a great start on it already.
