Thinking about Eucalyptus
I'd like to suggest Eucalyptus perriniana to those looking for an attractive
Eucalyptus. It was David Poole who first told me about it for the house I had before I married Ray and David suggested it as a hedge. It was coming here to get them that led to me marrying Ray. I duly planted them and my then gardener chopped their tops off much too soon and they struggled for quite a long time! However, I went past the house a couple of weeks ago and they've made a very handsome hedge and look elegant after that shaky start. It has perfoliate leaves and is very hardy. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

I've had this one in the ground for 2 summers now. The first year it grew about 8 feet! Last summer it just sat there, maybe a foot of growth. It's now starting to put on some mature leaf growth as the "spinning" leaves die on lower branches, and I'm pretty sure it will bloom this spring. I'd like to see it get some more height though, do you think I ought to fertilize? cheers, -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies Questions about wine?
