Eucalyptus rostrata, E. camaldulensis - River Red Gum
The River Red Gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. rostrata), which is a familiar sight in Australian towns and gardens, is eye-catching because of its bark, which peels off in long strips to reveal red, white or gray sections.
Eucalyptus are very fast-growing and thirsty plants, which are used worldwide for agro-forestry. For the cultivation as ornamental plants in a pot or in the winter garden, a constant and rich water and fertilizer supply is essential - Eucalyptus in the garden must be watered in summer and winter (!!) in dry spells. In return, Eucalyptus pleases you with decorative leaves that add an exotic touch to your garden and an aromatic fragrance that keeps the air clear and clean. Thanks to the essential oil, insect pests have no interest in the firm and coarse leaves: plant protection is usually not an issue with Eucalyptus. Although Eucalyptus Trees are vigorous growers, this should not keep owners of small winter gardens or greenhouses from buying one of the many species: they are all very tolerant of pruning and can be trimmed to the desired size every year in late winter.
Quality: aromatic leaves; slender crown; fast-growing; evergreen
Use: from April/May to October outdoors in pot gardens (balcony, terrace, garden) - during winter indoors; all year round in a heated greenhouse or bright office
