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 seed can be sown most of the year around if you avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year, the best time to sow is generally spring.
- The grow mix should be free draining preferably with some organic compost well mix through. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
- Potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix, do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seed sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination generally occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they 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.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region
