Eucalyptus Melliodora - From Tube Stock

Post by Patmet »

Eucalyptus Melliodora also given to me as a small tubestock by a friend at the same time as the Euc Nicholii 2021. Same deal can't find any earlier photos but just up-potted and growing on so far.

I have one very similar looking to yours’ structure.
The leaf size is easy to maintain smaller leaves and it is very hardy. Myrtle rust barely shows up on this species in the East.
The foliage usually droops quickly giving it a nice weeping appearance.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

I've seen photos of some nice ones as bonsai and heard that it's a very suitable euc with good leaf reduction. The leaves on mine are huge right now but it makes sense, I've been letting it grow wild for quite a while with few branches.
