My first posting to the group:

I am completely ignorant on gardening matters, but wish to learn.

So-- I wish to grow a eucalyptus tree from cuttings. How should I
start
and
when. I have never taken a cutting in my life, so please respnd in
detail
and be kind:-)

Have you got a Eucalyptus growing in N Yorks?
If so, where?
I am in Wensleydale, just outside Hawes.
Would it make the grade here?

Talk to the Eucalyptus nursery in Wales. The website has been given on
here
many times. They grow theirs in hard conditions in the Welsh mountains
so
they will certainly be able to inform you.


Yep, http://www.eucalyptus.co.uk (formerly Celyn Vale) is the place.
Get the catalogue as well as it is more or less a complete 'miniguide'
to Eucs in the UK

They do Acacia as well and can advise which ones are likley to be
hardiest in which parts of UK (we covered this is a previous thread)

I have had a look at that URL. It is an excellent compendium of knowledge
on Eucalypts.
