Propagation
Surface sow fresh seed during spring in a well-drained media and maintain a temperature of 16ş to 18ş C. (61ş to 64ş F). Prick out and pot up when they are large enough to handle.

General pruning information
Eucalyptusspecies require little pruning apart from removal of damaged or dead wood, which should be taken off at the collar. If the tree is cut back hard it will produce epicormic shoots and the crown may be lifted or thinned by removal of selected branches.

Note:
Care should be taken when selecting a site allowing ample room for it to grow as it has vigorous invasive roots that can lift concrete and block drains.
