Re: Eucalyptus ID
Where did you get it from?
Re: Eucalyptus ID
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

Re: Eucalyptus ID
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.
Re: Eucalyptus ID
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.
Re: Eucalyptus ID
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

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

Re: Eucalyptus ID
Here's one that's looked good for years....
Re: Eucalyptus ID
I've searched around google and its very touch as so many species look simular. They could even be a hybrid
Re: Eucalyptus ID
They will tend to come back from the base yes. Thats just their way of coping with bush fires

Re: Eucalyptus ID
I'm not sure the label is the same as the plant you have bought?
