EUCALYPTUS delegatensis
Alpine Ash
Family: Myrtaceae
Subfamily: Myrtoideae
Characteristics: Tall tree to 70 m spread 6 m
Seeds per packet: 15
This majestic eucalypt is the largest by volume, it is not the highest, but has a solid massive trunk. The lower parts are a rough fissured grey or light tan that peels in ribbons. The branches on the upper tree are smooth and powdery white. Sickle shaped leaves 100-200 mm long and often have a strong blue tint.
White flowers appear during late summer into autumn but in the older trees they are often too high to see.
Native to southern New South Wales.
Prefers a medium to heavy soil in a protected sunny position, Frost resistant but drought tender.
Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
A potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule. Do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
- All seeds must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
