Eucalyptus deglupta seed,

15 years ago

I have been trying to find seed for Eucalyptus deglupta for some time, as this is one of the few Eucalypt's not native to Australia it is very hard to find, can anyone help me?

I've got a couple of hundred different seeds to trade if anyone is intrested or even just let me know where I might get some

If you find any let me know I have been looking for them as well. There are some places in Florida to buy the trees. They will ship them, but I have not found any seeds yet.

Since they are used for pulpwood in the Phils, ICRAF Mindanao may be able to put you onto a seed source.

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

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

Thanks everyone for your advise. You know why I grow indoors? Because I am in a weird climate where it is 50s to 60s year round and low 70s in summer, with occasional 75-77F and quite a high humidity. So I heat my office only with a radiator and so I keep my germination plants in my office near a radiator where there is no window... Otherwise they would not germinate as the rest of the house as well as the outdoors is in constant 50s or low 60s Fahrenheit. Summer maybe a bit better and more germination outdoors. As soon as the plants will grow into something like a seedling, I will take them outside, of course.

I got my foot tall seedling snapped in half by strong winds. It is in the pot outdoors for the past several months. I have 12 of them in pots outdoors and 1 of them got broken in half when placed in the corner outdoors, but it was not separated so I repaired it with tape. I wonder how these trees grow in New Zealand, Lord Howe Island or your country and do they survive hurricane winds? I live in a heat zone that I would describe as zero or 1, but the hardiness zone is 11B. Also I would guess one has to allow up to 200 ft. to plant it away from the house or any valuable structure or street. Does anyone have experiences these trees toppling over or breaking in high winds?
