Propagation
Surface sow fresh seed during early 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. Grow in pots for one season before planting out.

Note:
The timber is not produced commercially although it is ideal for general construction or fencing. It is very strong and durable and is one of the densest woods known. It is also widely cultivated overseas in such countries as Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Israel and Italy.

Leaf: The ovate juvenile leaves have a short petiole and commonly a cordate base and are up to 150 mm (6in) long by 100 mm (4in) wide. The concolorous dull green adult leaves are lanceolate up to 25 mm (1in) wide with a slender petiole and acuminate apex.

Flower: The sessile flower buds are clavate to pyriform (club to mushroom shape) and are up to 20 mm (ľ in) long with hemispherical or slightly conical opercula.There are 7-11flowers arranged in an axillary umbel with broad flattened peduncles and appear from summer to autumn.

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. This tree regenerates readily from coppice.
