Re: Just a couple of eucalypts
It's definitely many years away from being anything more than a stick in a pot, but flowers are a big win.

Re: Just a couple of eucalypts
Good result, thanks for the photos. The flowers don't appear to arise right at the ends of long shoots, so there's a chance they may flower as bonsai.
Have you thought to grow them in something bigger, and faster, to cut back hard and get a thick trunk quicker? Most of my Eucs usually like that, but come to think of it, my E. kruseana keep dying.... I don''t think your climate's that much drier than ours in Canberra, it's probably just that they hate me...

Re: Just a couple of eucalypts
Yes definitely, I'm still in the newbie phase of needing to own one of every single species (and dig out stupidly-big stumps) but this one will get some more attention and an up-pot this season.GavinG wrote: ↑August 7th, 2022, 5:10 pm Have you thought to grow them in something bigger, and faster, to cut back hard and get a thick trunk quicker?
