Eucalyptus

Question

I have 2 small branches that were cut from a Eucalyptus tree. Can I plant them or should I cut off some leaves to plant? I’ve never had any before and not sure what to do.

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.
