Rainbow eucalyptus

Question

I had bought seeds of rainbow eucalyptus abroad (I think it’s eucalyptus at least). Sprouts grow normally, but I do not feel the smell of eucalyptus. Tell me, please, whether the rainbow eucalyptus smells like normal? If it smells at once, or you want to wait? In general – how can I recognize it it’s a eucalyptus or not?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It's doubtful that you will have much Eucalyptus smell until the plants are more mature.

The seedlings can be fun to grow and when the seedlings are about 3 months old and 10 inches tall, they can be hardened off and moved outdoors. They cannot be exposed to any cold or frost.

Here is a link about the amazing tree.
