| Very easy to find. E. gunnii is very easy to find. Eucalyptus trees are not small though so get ready for some pruning! |

| Very easy to grow fom seed as well. You could just treat them as bedding plants then. Everyone I know who has grown them as a permanent plant seems to regret it in the end as it towers over their property! |

| can i grow them inside? like in a 3" pot? saw a tree (uge) in Whales in criccieth (sorry for the spelling!!!) i though i could have a smaller version in my bathroom (lots of light...) |

| My euc seedlings have to tolerate all kinds of abuse and mainly live, so I would try them anywhere. Seeds seem to germinate fairly well so you would have lots to play around with. I have certainly left mine in 3" pots for lengthy periods when I don't get round to tending to them and they seem to forgive me. I gather that they need to be put into the ground while small in order to develop a stabilising root system but if you were going to try them as a pot plant it wouldn't matter if they got a bit potbound. I (think) I've tried E. niphophila, globulus, citriodora. All of these are just about hardy. Chilterns have loads of choice. Thinking about it, I gave one to a friend who put it under the huge skylight in his attic and it grew OK. |
