I have acquired about 2000 seedlings. Is anyone interested? I'll probably use about 300 or so. I also have some eucalyptus seedlings too, maybe like 150 or so.

Does the eucalyptus grow in zone 6 ?

What are you asking in exchange for the eucalyptus seeds? Thank you.

I would love some eucalyptus seed. Sending you a tree mail

Please do some research before planting Eucalyptus in your garden.

I think it is a general rule for all Eucalyptus species: they have very shallow root system. In a country with tornados, they should not be allowed in gardens. We have no tornados here, but nobody plants Eucalyptus trees in their gardens, nor on city landscaping, etc. - only on plantations (used mainly for wood stoves and for short fibre pulp production).

I learned this many years ago, when I worked in a Pulp Mill and complained that some really old trees (looked healthy!) were eliminated by the roadside not far from my home. It was done for our safety The area was extremely rainy and coastal (lots of strong winds).

Of course, you can keep them shrub-size (but this would mean to mutilate the trees) and would permanently obtain the silver coloured leaves typical to their young stage, but even if I had a large farm but lived in an area where tornados are likely, I would think of growing something different than a Eucalyptus plantation.

Thank you for your input. I live in SC and have had a eucalyptus tree before. I know they are shallow root trees. I live in a large 3 plus acre yard and so have plenty of room. I mainly enjoy the fresh smell of the leaves, but not to worry. It seems I live to far for these seedling trees to make the trip to me. Unfortunately. I have seen several trees in yards around here though so they must do well.

Where I lived in an apartment in the big city before moving to the countryside 7 years ago, the neighbours had Eucalyptus trees, but kept them trimmed down after our Administration talked to them (I was not involved).

There are a few farms here that grow them (sold for heating/cooking purposes), but this year I have observed the trees close to the road have all been brought down - I suppose it was a request from our local authorities. One of our main (if not THE MAIN) problems here is that everytime we have some rain or stormy wind, either branches or a full trees fall, shutting our electrical power down for hours (cables are linked on posts at the roadside).
