Yes - it can easily be grown in a container, and it does make a suitable bonsai. As bonsai, the leaves can be reduced in size over time, for a more proportionate tree. Al

Were ever able to find any of this seed. I've been trying to locate some as well. Let me know. Thanks. Drew

Looking for a few viable rainbow eucalyptus seeds. I may have to offer in exchange lulo/naranjilla (solanum quitoense - Colombian variety), guava (Colombian variety), granadilla (passiflora ligularis - Colombian variety), passion fruit (passiflora edulis - Colombian variety) and Borojo(borojoa patinoi). Availability will depend on the time of response.

"I hope we can still get that cool rainbow look but I'm really just happy I'm getting any growth at all right now." Not in Virginia Beach but it's impressive, surprising even, that it managed to return from the roots. Where did your gift giver get it - or did you ask? I think they are pretty rare in commerce. "We have a lot of crepe mertles here that people cut back and the tree regrows its branches back, would a eucalyptus do the same?" It would but it's a bad idea, especially for crape myrtle. Google "crape murder" - I believe there used to be a website.
