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

Note:
Care should be taken when selecting a sight as the tree has vigorous roots that can lift concrete and block drains.

Flower: The small diamond-shaped buds open to cream flowers and are arranged in a terminal umbel-like panicle in groups of 7. The conical opercula are glaucous and the bud has a short pedicle. The flowers appear from spring to summer.

Fruit: The ovoid to urceolate shaped fruit has faint ribs, descending disk with 4-valves that are exserted or at rim level.

General pruning information
Eucalyptus species 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.
