Eucalyptus - Live Plant Frequently Asked Questions

Is Eucalyptus an annual or perennial plant?

Typically, Eucalyptus is classified as a perennial plant that lives for more than 2 years and survives different growing seasons. Due to its prolonged life-span, it can grow into a large, tall tree. However, in colder regions, it prefers to grow as an annual plant or be treated as a tender perennial plant because it cannot handle harsh winters.

How much space should be needed to grow eucalyptus?

The space needed to grow eucalyptus depends on the species you are growing. Typically, they grow at a pretty fast pace and can reach a height of over 100 feet or more with a spread of several feet. Considering its mature size, it should be spaced at least 10-20 feet from other plants to allow proper growth and development.

When should I harvest Eucalyptus?

The time to harvest eucalyptus depends on the intended use of the plant. For medicinal use, harvest its leaves in its active growth phase, before the plant flowers. For timber use, harvest the eucalyptus tree when they have reached its desired size for better lumber production, preferably done during its dormant season. For ornamental purposes, harvest the plant at any time of the year when it has reached a sufficient size.

Does Eucalyptus flower or fruit?

Yes, eucalyptus does produce small creamy white or yellow flowers that appear in clusters at the end of the branches. After pollination, these flowers transform into woody fruits that contain several seeds. The flowering and fruiting time of the plant depends on the species of eucalyptus.
