propagating eucalyptus
Do you use willow water to put the cuttings in?
Hi Moretz,
Eucalyptus rarely root and are typically done by seed. I read somewhere you can use "stooling" or mounding up the soil above soil line and cut back plant to promote basal shoots with roots. I checked my propagation books and none of them list Eucalyptus cuttings. Just do seed and you'll have much more success. I sell Canadian collected seed www.discoverplants.com. There's also a nursery in eastern US that sells seed and plants.

Hi Moretz,
The nursery is Windmill Outback Nursery www.australiaplants.com in Louisa, VA. Mike will give you the best advice on which Eucalyptus will do well in your area and the East Coast. I have no problems sending you seed but I had a thought. I'm sure there's one of our fellow Dave's Garden members who needs a hand right now so I'd be game if you'd send a bit of money their way and I'll send you some seed. That way you get seed, I feel like I'm helping out despite being broke and it's helping somebody out who's living through a nightmare. How'z that sound? Mike
dmailed you
