Most varieties of eucalyptus are fairly easy to grow, whether you choose to plant them indoors or outdoors. However, very young specimens will certainly benefit from a helping hand, even for several years after their initial planting. Light Plant eucalyptus in spring and summer, so they have plenty of time to get establishedbefore winter. It should not be practised more regularly than every couple of years. FAQs Is Eucalyptus An Indoor Plant?

If your part of the country is particularly prone to excessive rain or snow during winter, you might want to shelter it from the worst downpours.Pruning, coppicing and pollarding are all viable means of altering the shape and size of the tree as it develops, though none are essential if the location and conditions in which it is planted are satisfactory. Eucalyptus areavailable from larger garden centres and some online plant suppliers, particularly tree specialists.Go to RHS Plantsand search for 'eucalyptus' tofind out where to buy specific species. For best results, you might want to consider moving the pot completely outside to maximise its exposure to the sun.

It's easy to neglect our gardens when the temperatures drop, but autumn is actually the best season to garden because of the soil's moist and warm texture, reveal t he Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). If you already have free-draining soil, anything in the snow gum family will thrive, while E. subcrenulata is a great choice for clay soils that are poorly drained. Swamp gums, like E. aggregata, tolerate boggy, wet conditions, but they grow very tall. Eucalyptus Nicoli is one of the most renowned choices in autumn bouquets throughout the UK. Characterised by its long, slender leaves and gentle presence, this autumn eucalyptus variety has a highly sought-after ornamental appeal. Theyare evergreen trees or shrubs, mainly from Australia. There are many species, of various sizes, to suit most situations. They usually form elegant specimens that work well as focal points. Its foliage begins life rounded and bluish, before developing a thinner and greyer form as it grows.I have come across many eucalyptus trees that have been planted in positions that are too small for the eventual size of the tree,” says Horticultural Consultant Colin Skelly. For the first few years after planting, maintain a circle of bare soil, free of weeds and other plants, around the base of the trunk, about 1m (3⅓ft) in diameter. In cold regions, give the root zone a ‘root duvet’­– a 4in (12cm) deep mulch of bark chippings or organic straw to protect the roots from freezing over winter. When applying, be sure to keep the mulch away from the trunk. The top of the rootball should be buried 0.4-0.8in (1-2cm) below soil level – which is contrary to the usual advice for woody plants – but this is so the lignotuber is protected in very cold weather. The lignotuber is a woody swelling at the part of the tree where the trunk or stem meets the root system, usually at soil level. It’s part of the tree’s defense system and where new shoots sprout from when the main trunk is damaged – for instance, by fire, excessive grazing by an animal, or a very hard winter. Having said that, if your tree is planted in a pot, you might want to move it to a warmer area when the mercury drops.

If planting seeds, use root trainers to establish them initially, before transplanting them into their final position no later than midsummer. The flowers are small petal-less pompoms of white or cream stamens (occasionally yellow, pink or red).They are rich in nectar, attracting bees and other pollinators. They appearat various times of year, depending on the species. Choosing the right eucalyptusCover the rootball with mycorrhizal fungi and don’t use compost or horse manure in the planting hole, only in the surrounding soil,' she adds. When it comes to planting, dig a hole three times the width and depth of the container, swapping any hard subsoil for sandy loam. 'Sandy loam makes it easier for the rootball to establish,' says Hilary Collins. Speaking about the environmental impacts of making leaf mould, Guy Barter, Chief Horticulturist at the RHS explains: 'Leaves often vex gardeners so no wonder two out of five consign them to the green waste bin, but leaves make the finest soil improver as leaf mould. Making leaf mould helps the environment by eliminating the cost and carbon emissions associated with green waste collection. Pollarding removes a lot of energy so you need to feed and water the tree well afterward, otherwise there’s a risk it will become exhausted and die. Bear in mind the potential height and spread of the species you possess, planting the root ball at an appropriate distance from other plants or buildings to allow for their development.

Wherever you decide to position them, think carefully about the location before doing so as they don’t take kindly to being uprooted. How To Plant Remove completely the side shoots that were shortened by half in year one (which should be now be in the lower third of the tree)This method is particularly suitable for two-year-old trees of Eucalyptus gunnii, E. globulus, E. dalrympleana and E. pauciflora, as it shows off their attractive, rounded juvenile foliage. Year one Given that some species of eucalyptus can grow up to 30m in height and spread, they’re most commonly cultivated outside. Equally beneficial is raking leaves into heaps under shrubs and trees – they rot away by July and won't promote slug damage or smother lawns and plants around woody plants.' It can grow up to 25m in height and 10m in spread, with its peeling cream and brown bark a common sight around the UK.
