Propagation: Who's tried germinating eucalyptus?, 1 by smartseeds

Eucalyptus seeds germinate easily as long as they are surface sown. They're too small to have the reserves necessary to make their way to the surface if buried.

Just sprinkle them on the surface of a mix with good drainage, keep them warm and moist. A pane of glass or plastic wrap helps keep them from drying out.

Do check the climate zones for each species. Snowgum Eucalyptus will tolerate major cold, but many are from the hot flatlands of Australia and don't understand winter. No point in starting a 60' tree that will die in September.
