I bought this Euc thinking it was Gunnii but after seeing a gunnii in another shop I am not too sure it is now.

any clue as to which Eucalyptus it is? that is all the label says, eucalyptus.

Where did you get it from?

springfields nursery in middleton

I fiirst thought your ID was correct. All eucalyptus have two different sets of leaves. The juvenile set on small plants are often very different from the adult leaves. These look like the adult leaves of gunii but the plant is too small for them to be on it.

I'll do a bit of googleing

Where are you planting them in your garden or in someone else? I've seen a nice clipped specimen kept at a small size for years.

Gunii leaves are usually rounder at that size and don't look long or wide enough for Globulus, it doesn't look like either to me.

I am putting these into the two pots I was asking for plants suggestions for in the other thread.

I plant to keep them trimmed and root pruned (a bit like a big bonsai) but it is quite a shady position so they may just end up being bedding for this year.

if they survive brill, if not £5 each is nothing to lose.

I assume I can coppice/pollard the same regardless of what they are?

if it might help the ID a few of the other plants/seedlings were a more plainer green blue shade rather than blue

I've tried Eucs in pots and they end up looking terrible. Tried Gunni only though.

Here's one that's looked good for years....

I've searched around google and its very touch as so many species look simular. They could even be a hybrid

do most eucs sucker like gunnii does when chopped down?

They will tend to come back from the base yes. Thats just their way of coping with bush fires

here is the label ,does this help ID it?

I'm not sure the label is the same as the plant you have bought?

I give up lol.
