EUCALYPTUS

Common Name: Gum Trees

Family : Myrtaceae

This is essentially an Australian genus with about 700 species recorded. In fact the herbarium is currently considering a reclassification to better divide them so don't be surprised at name changes soon. There is a Eucalypt for almost every situation but it is not possible to stock many as they are fast growing and soon outgrow the container. The are in the main very adaptable trees. They are selected for the attraction of their bark or for flowers that are spectacular in size or colour. Colour and form can only be guaranteed from grafted forms and the nursery stocks some of the more reliable grafts.
