Eucalyptus Propagation

Question

My friend has a well established Eucalyptus tree. She has seen no seed pods. Can this beautiful tree be cultivated from a cutting? If so, what is the procedure for rooting? When is the best time of the year to take the cutting, and how long should the cutting be?

Answer 1

Eucalyptus cuttings do not usually root that easily; therefore, this method of propagation rarely works. However, the tree does propagate easily from seeds, which can be started directly in the ground or in a container and later transplanted.
