Eucalyptus deglupta seed,

16 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

"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.

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?
