Euc seedlings

[djbobbins]

Evening folks. Can anyone advise where I might be best placed to buy some euc seedlings from (not overly fussed about the variety). Or even whether to buy seeds - are they moderately easy to germinate?

I've tried growing a packet of mixed Euc seeds from here: https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_562A_eucalyptus_hardy_mixed_species

 

I followed the instructions and got a large number to germinate and they grew on quickly. My only problem is they outgrew their pots before I had anywhere to plant out - so ensure you have somewhere ready to plant them out.

 

Mine have become a little stunted but have now flowered after about 4 years.

We work with Bryan Elliot and purchase the eucalypts we plant from him. We've (in conjunction with Bryan) also set up a local nursery here in Devon growing them too, and have 41,000 euc. nitens growing there. They however won't be suitable for Warwick though due to frost risk.

 

Give him a bell though and say Jonathan put you in touch:

Can you post up your recent Euc planting photos again @Big J , they've been lost from the planting thread due to the site maintenance.
