Eucalyptus collection

Post by Ako »

When is the best time of year to collect eucalyptus?
I have the opportunity to collect a few from a friend's house I'm just wanting to give them their best chance for survival.

I have usually collected eucs late spring after the weather warms up a bit. Most, but not all have survived transplant though whether that is due to timing or technique I can't say.
I've also dug a couple later in summer or autumn more deaths then but the sample is probably too small to be able to give any accurate guidelines for that time of year.

Late spring . Keep the water up to them . I have found the moment you let them dry too much they sulk to the point of losing them . Which once they start sulking you might be better off losing them .
