Intro to Dwarf Eucalyptus Species

[@ForkNknife1111]

Never knew eucalyptus has that much of varieties. Thank you for the information. And it's quite a therapeutic to listen to your voice.

[@ceceliahuynh]

Gorgeous trees!

[@tumbleweed-z5l]

What a great video. Question is it ok to plant a France Bleu along a garden border wall? Or will that lead to damage to the wall due to its root system?

[@merlindodson7562]

Thank you for sharing this great information! Love your videos and excited to try my first dwarf soon.

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

You are so welcome! Let us know if you need any help - we can do business with UK and Europe :)

[@wendychetherington9809]

Ah, what a lovely lady you are, so glad I found you. I bought my very first eucalyptus yesterday, however I was wondering what type of soil I should put in the container as the pot that the plant is in feels like cement! Extremely dry and very heavy! Surely that's not right is it Hilary? Could you please show us the best way to plant a small eucalyptus in a container? Also, how and when to prune? Thank you, Wendy (North Wales, UK)

Great video! I'm planning on planting a couple of bushy multi-stemmed gunniis to form a screening hedge. How far should they be planted apart?

[@Fire-gv2wz]

Hi there Can I have some help please. What is a suitable compost? To keep a eucalyptus gu azure in a very large pot please. It’s just over 7 feet tall now. Thank you 😊

Planted a Eucalyptus a couple years ago here in Phoenix Arizona. We have 45-48 Celsius here in the summer and it’s doing well. I’m so pleased with it. Will plant a few more once the heat is over. I think it’s a Baby Blue, didn’t keep the tag unfortunately.

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

Great news Jutta! We love Baby Blues that have been pruned and kept to a shape - we find they go strangely sprawly if left to their own devices and end up looking like a silver Monkey Puzzle that's melted!! haha!

Hi. I would like to know how to propagate eucalyptus silverdollar by cuttings

[@frankdamiano8523]

I have a blue lagoon eucalyptus bush/small tree. Live in Sacramento Ca., very hot dry summers with mild winters. Can I train this plant into a small patio tree? Can’t find much info about it… thanks!

[@andrewbrookes654]

Very informative. Keep them coming!! Thank you.

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

Thank you! :)

Can you guys and gals create more drawf eucalyptus tree varieties?

[@chrisallen4873]

Worried I have accidentally brought a gunnii, rather than the smaller gunnii azura. How can I tell short of waiting to see if it grows to 20m tall and wrecks my house?

[@shelliecornatzer]

I bought a Eucalyptus pulvetulenta 'Baby Blue" I live in Texas zone 8A. We rarely get under 25 degrees in Winter. I assume I can plant outside since hardy to -10C or 14F. Any reason I should cover it like freezing rain etc? Thanks.

Will you be coming to the Autumn Malvern show this month?

[@bs6620]

Hi Jackie, we're not doing the autumn show this year - yet to recover from Gardeners World Live! We'll be doing the spring show in 2022 with luck :)

[@iconicgirl649]

I was sad to see you never linked your site

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

Thanks for pointing this out! I've added it to the video description now :)

[@rachmiperdanawati7723]

Thank you....Hillarry...regards from Indonesia

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

Thank you Indonesia ;)

[@jimbailey3705]

I think I need one!

[@guerillaguru8650]

I've got 3 rainbow eucalyptus Trees in the Netherlands in pots but is IT posible to put Them in the ground and survive our winters?

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

If your Rainbow Gum is a 'deglupta' then sadly no :( they're not frost-hardy and would likely die in the winter. If you are able to keep it indoors during the winter months, that would help. Don't put it outside again until you're sure you're not likely to get another cold spell / frost. Also, we would not recommend wrapping them in fleece etc like you would other frost-tender species as they are evergreen and will sweat under the wrapping, leading to disease. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! :(

[@guerillaguru8650]

@@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241 thank you,i will keep Them inside when the the cold enters the Netherlands.

[@barbarawormald9021]

Can you recommend an easy eucalyptus tree for medicinal use...they go huge....how do I pick leaves that are 100f in the sky ?

[@graftonnurseryhardyeucalyp5241]

Hi Barbara, The ones in this particular video shouldn't grow to more than 30ft (being left to grow, without pruning). But, of course, that's still too tall to harvest easily! I would recommend you grow them as a pollarded shrub, in the same way flower farmers grow cut foliage. The pruning technique for this in our Pruning Video (see our channel) - scroll through the video and look for the section where Steve is pollarding a "Eucalyptus nicholii" (he's holding a tape measure). This technique encourages lots of bushy growth between 3-10ft from the ground. Hope that helps!

[@Zxxqw8]

These are very healthy and great range but keep in mind the importance to plant UK natives to your home.

[@deeaholman6872]

This was so interesting and informative! I am such a fan !
