Eucalyptus viminalis – Manna Gum seed x200

A native of New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia where it prefers medium to light, well drained soils in a sunny, protected position. It is frost hardy but dislikes drought.

An evergreen tree growing to 60 metres (180ft) with a spread of 5 metres (15ft). The stem is erect and branching with a stocking of rough bark at the base, gum type bark above, with long ribbons of bark hanging from the branches. The crown is densely textured with light green, narrow, pendant leaves 18cm long and tapering. The flowers are creamish white appearing all year round.

This is a known Koala food tree in central Victoria and is probably used by them in other states.

DISCLAIMER.

All Eucalyptus/Corymbia seed is harvested from the wild under licence and is sold as a combination of fertilised/unfertilised (chaff) seed. In many cases, it is not possible to tell the difference. The ratio of fertilised seed varies greatly and depends wholly on weather conditions prior to seed set. Standard industry practice is to offer 200 seeds per packet which translate to something like 10 to 30 viable seeds (which have not been counted). If the above is not acceptable to you, please do not purchase any of the above seeds.
