Thank you for the reply. I am new to the seed thing, I usually buy trees already started. I have Cassia Bicapsulara seeds, and Golden Rain Tree seeds at present :) I would love a trade. Thanks.

"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.

Drew, I can send you some seed of a few of the varieties you listed if you are interested - they grow locally or as street trees in my area. Im pleased that you are interested in our beautiful aussie flora. Cheers

The Rainbow Eucalypt is native to west of the Wallace line i.e. Indonesia and western Mindanao, therefore Zamboanga City rather than Bukidnon though the Botanists may put my provenance right on this. Because they are relatively free of essential oils these rainforest Eucs do not explode as firebombs like those no-no 'gumtrees' in the big fires in Calif a year ago, Oct 08. Goodluck - the trunks are beautiful. Sweeney
