We are an RHS Chelsea Gold, multi-award winning, family run nursery with over 40 years of nursery & 30 years landscaping experience and proud to belong to that rather endangered species – the British Grower. We (Hilary and Stephen) moved to Grafton Nursery in 2008. After growing the odd few Eucalyptus for many years, we began serious production at our new nursery in 2010. Supported by our daughters Charlie and Victoria, along with a small but extremely enthusiastic team of people, we have become completely obsessed by all things Eucalyptus and now have over 60 species in our portfolio; 36 of which will tolerate temperatures down to -14 to -20 Celsius. 

It is very important to us that people are successful with their eucalyptus, which is why we have put so much information on the website on how to plant and cultivate these magnificent trees. They are so versatile and adaptable, we now have a Eucalyptus for just about every growing scenario in the UK. We run a research programme at Hardy Eucalyptus, where we evaluate species and develop the best growing techniques, to ensure we can always deliver top quality trees to our customers. Our Eucalyptus are produced in a range of pot sizes starting with plugs for mass planting (firewood production), baby trees in 1 litre air-pot containers (for cut foliage production), starter trees in 3L & 5L, standards and multi-stems in 9L and 12.5L, giants in 20L and 45 litre pots through to monster trees in 100 litre air-pot containers. Not every species is produced in every pot size!

Our after care service is available in the form of extensive husbandry notes on our Help and Advice page, there is a Fantastic Foliage growers manual for cut foliage producers, and we also solve customer queries by email and phone.

We have been exhibiting our Eucalyptus at RHS shows since 2012. So far we have been awarded 23 medals including 15 Gold medals and a trophy. Hardy Eucalyptus exhibit at the RHS Malvern and Chelsea, BBC Gardeners World Live at the NEC, Birmingham.
