Looks like a pretty good germination rate from these guys :tu: I'm looking forward to these, my money is on a Corymbia or a Eucalyptus to get a nice, big trunked beast by the end of the 6 years. My plan is probably to put a few into ~8 inch pots and set them up on the ground somewhere so they can escape and run a little wild before reigning them back in periodically. But first I have to get them past the seedling stage.

All my Eucalypts have hit the ground running so hopefully this is a good sign for things to come. I've slip potted them into larger containers so they should continue to grow well. I probably won't update again until the trees are large enough that I will select 3 or 4 to focus on for the rest of the comp.

Pretty happy with these guys so far. They've grown trouble free, not as fast as some of the others, but still trucking along OK.
