However, they do demand full exposure to the sun and appreciate some shelter from the wind, so a spot next to a fence or wall might be ideal. To explore the range of species, go to RHS Plants.

New research, which was conducted as part of the gardening charity's 'Grow at Home This Autumn' campaign, found that autumn is especially good for planting evergreens, as well as tulips and daffodil bulbs. Without the difficult fluctuations of spring weather, and the need to be watered regularly, these plants can grow new roots much better. Eucalyptus does not require enrichment of the soil by manure, since this will only encourage an excess of leafy growth. Some can grow quite tall, idealfor large or medium-sized gardens, while others form shrubs or compact trees, for smaller gardens or even containers. Autumn in the UK is a montage straight out of a starry dream. Characterised by a breathtaking display of vibrant foliage, cooler temperatures, and a sense of cosiness in the air, it’s the prime season for eucalyptus. In the research, 54 per cent of UK adults who garden or grow plants outside dispose of garden waste in their green bin, while 30 per cent choose to compost it. Meanwhile, just eight per cent use them to make leaf mould, and 29 per cent add their fallen leaves to the compost bin.Given that some species of eucalyptus can grow up to 30m in height and spread, they’re most commonly cultivated outside. Let’s dive in and explore the 5 most popular autumnal eucalyptus varieties in the UK so the next time you’re browsing through Dried Flowers and Decor you can tell your Cinerea from your Parvifoglia. Eucalyptus grow with a clear central leading branch that grows upwards ahead of the other branches. It is important not to cut this central leader, as this could spoil the final shape of the tree. Supports are to be actively discouraged, since cultivating eucalyptus without the aid of them will instigate stronger root growth. Eucalyptus Tree Care These include E. crenulata and E. neglecta – but even so, both of these cultivars will require at least some sunlight. References

Rather than temperature or humidity, the biggest consideration to keep in mind is waterlogged soil. For best results, you might want to consider moving the pot completely outside to maximise its exposure to the sun. Cut the main stem of a two-year-old tree straight across at the desired height, cutting as low as 8cm (3in) from ground level if required. Trim the wound so that there are no rough edges These techniques are best done very early in the growing season when the first shoots are appearing and the long-range weather forecast says we aren’t going to get a return to winter. Treat the pruning cuts with wound paint to prevent fungal disease. However, you should find that even if it only receives direct sunlight in the morning (followed by indirect exposure to light for the rest of the day), it will still grow happily enough. Is Eucalyptus Hard To Grow?As larger specimens who enjoy the sun, they tend to thrive better in external conditions, but some species do not tolerate extreme cold well. While spring is indeed an important season to plant new bulbs, the RHS wants households to understand the environmental and financial benefits of gardening during September and October.

Standard trees have a clear trunk and a head, or canopy, of branches. Young eucalyptus can be grown as standards with a 1-2m (3¼ -6½ ft) trunk. Pollarding removes a lot of energy so you need to feed and water the tree well afterward, otherwise there’s a risk it will become exhausted and die.If you already have free-draining soil, anything in the snow gum family will thrive, while E. subcrenulata is a great choice for clay soils that are poorly drained. Swamp gums, like E. aggregata, tolerate boggy, wet conditions, but they grow very tall. Eucalyptus make striking specimen trees with year-round appeal – eye-catching bark and evergreen, grey-blue leaves.They generally havea light canopy that doesn't cast deep shade, despite being evergreen.
