Eucalyptus deglupta - Rainbow Euc.

[MattyB]

Here's the next batch of Rainbow Eucs for sale. I only have 3 of these. 1 gallon pots, $40.

Eucalyptus hate being in pots and this is the size you want to plant them out for the best establishment and growth. If planted out now, you should get 6' of growth per year.

PM me or call me (619) 206-7782

[JEFF IN MODESTO]

You mean if you plant them out now, you should get 6ft of more growth this year?

I have one that I started in a 2 inch pot 3 months ago is now 8.5 ft tall in a 15 gal pot... ready to be planted in ground ... these things sure grow fast.

Can you grow these in Modesto Jeff? I thought they couldn't take a freeze. I've been holding off on one here as a result.

[JEFF IN MODESTO]

I haven't had mine long enough to see if they take the cold.

We shall see this winter.

I will be tracking with this! Another bump for Matty.

[Jeff Searle]

These take low 30's allll day long.

[Ben in Norcal]

These take low 30's allll day long.

Is that the best they can do? My average winter low is 30...so I'm thinking, probably a no-go...

[JEFF IN MODESTO]

I see 26f-27f about every other winter.... so if it cant take that it will be compost.

Burt here in San Marcos had some in pots and in the ground during the freeze of 2007. If I recall he hit mid 20s and lost them all. They really are not cold tolerant trees. I would imagine a yearly frost would eventually get to them.

[MattyB]

I only have 2 left, and want to get rid of them, so I'm discounting them to $20 each.

They're huge 1 gallons, ready for planting out or bumping up to 5 gallon or even 15 gallon. Really, they want to be planted.

[trioderob]

near the coast these things are gold.

I saw them at the zoo a few days ago and they are huge and spectacular

Here's the ones at the zoo that Triode is talking about. Two trees planted very close together mesh together very nicely in the crownal regions. Coast to inland they do very well.

[Gtlevine]

Here is mine, they are stunning trees

[MattyB]

Great looking form Gary! Goes to show you how a little water does these guys good. Mine is looking very scraggly down in the dry canyon. It never got a good soaking this winter

[MattyB]

I've got a few more of these for sale now. Small 1 gallons, ready to plant out and soak up that winter rain coming soon. $20 each for now.

[MattyB]

I still have a few at $20

[sashaeffer]

Anyone have long term success with these in pots?

 

Have one that I planted that was maybe 24 inches tall and is easily the fastest growing plant I have. It's in a 10 gallon container. Needless to say this winter I will have to bring inside.

[PalmatierMeg]

They have a reputation for hating pots. I was given an 8-footer in a 15g pot by a local palm lover who had no room to plant it and said it would soon decline and die if he left it in its pot. We planted it on our garden lot and it doubled in size within a year - they are rockets here. Unfortunately, they are also very cold sensitive. We've been lucky with winter the past several years. I hope both of ours can survive when the next cold winter hits. Enjoy yours while you can. I hope you have extra tall ceilings. I also hope its trunk thickens enough to show its glorious colors.

If there is a massive one growing at the catamaran hotel in mission Bay. I Googly eye over that sucker when I see it every time I stay at the hotel. 

There's a really big specimen growing next to the convention hall at the Los Angeles arboretum that survived the 2007 freeze and is easily 60 feet tall. Last year's palm society of southern California annual banquet was in the hall located next to the tree. After seeing this and hearing the story I'm a firm believer that once they get established they can handle it below freezing temps.

 

I planted out a 1 gallon last year and is now 12 feet tall at my Vista garden. It's hit temps down into the low 30s last winter without evening burning or brown tipping. Granted it did not get frost on it but it didn't go down to the low 30s but if you times
