Eucalyptus preissiana is a small tree with a "mallee" habit, featuring stunning buds that open into magnificent bright yellow flowers from August to November.
It usually grows up to 2-3 meters in height and width but can sometimes be smaller.
The Bell-fruited Mallee has smooth bark and large, broadly oval-shaped leaves that taper to a point, measuring 120mm in length and 50mm in width.
A bird attractant Mallee is perfect for small gardens and landscaping purposes.
Occurs naturally in the sub-region of Fitzgerald, Katanning, Recherche, Southern Jarrah Forest and Western Mallee on the south coast of Western Australia.
Prefers poor, well-drained soil in an open, sunny position. Resistant to drought and frost.
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.
