🎄About the Eucalyptus 5 litre Twin Pack Deal Species on offer🎄

  • None of these species will grow into a monster – just follow our comprehensive instructions.
  • They are all easy to grow
  • You are going to grow them as bushy shrubs with a little annual pruning, to yield a useful quantity of cut foliage stems for floral art work.
  • All of them flower with white blooms, beloved by pollinating insects and honey bees.

Eucalyptus archeri – Alpine Cider Gum: Classical Eucalyptus.  Cute, round, blue juvenile foliage with typical fresh eucalyptus aroma. Naturally bushy and high yielding.  Happy on normal range of garden soils including alkaline clays.  Great as a silvery blue bushy shrub.

Eucalyptus moorei – Little Sally: highly aromatic, minty foliage – strap-like leaves. Soft jade green colour to the leaves. Dwarf habit, very bushy. Happy on a normal range of garden soils, acidic to neutral. Enjoys a slightly more sheltered sunny spot that other Eucs. Very rewarding to grow in a patio pot.

Eucalyptus nicholii ‘Avon’- Willow Peppermint: beautiful, feathery, sage-green foliage with a fabulous fresh pepper-minty aroma. The new growth is often apricot suffused with raspberry in colour, before turning age-green.  The branches have lovely movement – great for floral work, even just popped into a vase. Favoured by florists for wedding work as well as wreaths and garlands. Eucalyptus nicholli is also great as a bushy shrub for your garden border.

Eucalyptus parvula – Small Leaved Kybean Gum: subtle soft grey-blue foliage with sweetly spicy eucalyptus aroma. Very productive and high yielding. Happy on the normal range of garden soils including alkaline chalky ones and wet clays.  Tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions.  A very easy one to grow.

Eucalyptus subcrenulata – Alpine Tasmanian Yellow Gum: clear apple-green foliage with sweetly spicy eucalyptus aroma. Productive and great as a base for celebratory wreaths, garlands and floral work.  Enjoys normal to wet garden soils.  Exceptionally easy to grow.  Very good at retaining its lower foliage. We find it makes an excellent hedge.

Remember: No grass, no weeds and a mulch mat or thick bark chip mulch, to a depth of 150 mm (6 inches) are essential to assist with good establishment. Our research trials have demonstrated that grass around the trunk of Eucalyptus prevent the trees from quickly establishing and can completely stop them from growing.

Planting Position and Soil

Eucalyptus for cut foliage or growing as bushy shrubs

Requirements:

  • Sun: full sun and open sky above. Avoid shade cast by other tall trees and buildings where possible.
  • Soil Type: Happy in a wide range of soils, but performs best on those which are acid to neutral and of poor to average fertility.
  • Soil Moisture: Enjoys moisture retentive but free draining soils. Will grow on a draining clay, sandy loams or rocky free draining ground. It is essential that your Eucalyptus trees are given our recommended quantity of water for their first 2 growing seasons in your grounds, during their establishment phase before you abandon them to their fate.  The trees need to establish a good root system before they can survive in dry, challenging conditions.
  • Environment: Benefits from a little shelter, especially from cold desiccating easterly winds.  Our Eucalyptus cut foliage plantation grows well on a north-west facing slope sheltered by trees and hedge to the east and south/southwest.

Recommendations:

  • If planting a large number for cut foliage, subsoiling may be a good practice to follow, especially if pastureland has previously been used by livestock.
  • For the best results, follow our planting and aftercare watering instructions, issued with every order; they can also be found under the Help and Advice tab on this website.
  • Improve poor soils with our planting kit, at the time of planting.
  • To encourage deep rooting and therefore good stability, prepare a deep planting pit as per our instructions.
  • Ensure there is no competition from weeds or grass around the base of the young tree as this will seriously cramp its style and slow down establishment. Our research has found that grass around the trunks of newly planted Eucalypts can completely stop them from growing and may lead to failure
  • Make life easier for you and your new tree: Plant with the mycorrhizal fungi product Rootgrow.  Eucalyptus in particular have a special, lifelong relationship with their root fungi, the latter of which actively transport food and water directly into the tree roots, helping your new Euc establish faster and more efficiently, particularly in challenging types of soil.
