Eucalyptus deglupta - Rainbow Eucalyptus – Smart Seeds Emporium

Par un écrivain mystérieux

Description

Rainbow Eucalyptus is a spectacular multicolor tree from the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The world’s fastest-growing tree, it's grown throughout the tropics to make paper pulp (what a waste), but is rarely seen here. The bark is so colorful it looks like a child's painting.This dazzler grows to 75' and has white flowers. It grows best in tropical locations, will tolerate a short freeze, does best in zones 10-11. Most types of soil are fine, but this tree needs high humidity. The pale new growth is lovely and makes a spectacular bonsai.The seeds are impossibly tiny (two million per kilo) and will come with some chaff. We'll send at least 30 seeds (they germinate easily), but they'll look like lint. Sow them on a moist, sterile medium such as vermiculite and keep them warm, or place them inside a moist coffee filter in a ziplock bag. Once the seedlings pop up, give them plenty of circulation. They're quite prone to damping off.Sorry.
