Eucalytptus Summer Red
About 1 1/2 years ago I planted the pink variety ('summer beauty') and
couldn't find much info on care for it. I mulched it well, and only watered it for about a month. I've never fertilised it. It's now about 2 metres tall and growing strongly - it just finished flowering, and I didn't know if I was meant to trim the spent flowers or not.... so I've left it alone and it looks like the 'flower heads' are developing into branches. I think I'll start neglecting my other plants, and maybe they'll grow this well too! I planted ours amongst dwarf lilly pillys which looks quite nice, because of the contrasting leaf shapes/colours - and as they are only small plants they highlight the eucalypt. I was keen to find a similiar tree with yellow flowers as I thought that would be a nice combination. I'm not actually being any help to you at all! But I was pleased to see someone else is growing one, as it's a beautiful small tree. Everyone who has seen it at our house has wanted to get one, but they don't seem terribly common yet. "Mitchell McCreath" wrote in message ... Hello all, Can someone give me a guide to the care of This true. I Planted it about 2 months ago. It is now putting on a beautiful display of red flowers with a yellow centre. Its about 1 metre tall at the moment. According to info that I have on it, I can expect it to reach 5 metres tall with a crown width of 3 metres. What tree would be a good complement? Cheers, Mitch |
