The family of Myrtaceae arose between 56 and 60 million years ago during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana.

The Salt Mallee is a species mallee or small tree that occurs in Western Australia.

It has rough bark at the base of the trunk and smooth bark above and linear to narrow lance-shaped leaves.

The first botanical collections of Eucalyptus are known to have been made until 1770 when Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander arrived at Botany Bay with Captain James Cook.

Eucalyptus sargentii was first formally described in 1924 by Joseph Maiden

Eucalyptus is easy to propagate from seed.

Arid and the tropical climates: the best time to sow the seed is when the rain starts.
Temperate and cool climates: the best time to sow the seed is late Winter and Spring, avoid the coldest months.

Sow in containers or direct for revegetation projects.

For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
For fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule.

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.

*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.
