Hi.

I have had this Gum tree from tube stock, in the ground for the last two years, growing in the ground. First time at placeing my ground growen natives in a pot. My plan is to leave it in this pot for about two years, form a better root system, lower the height a bit and work on branches.

This is only my second tree from ground, to pot i have attempted.

Comments please.

Regards.

A nice little stump Irish. Do you know the species. Looks like a Sugar gum but i have been known to be wrong quite regulary.

Definitely not a Yellow box, i am surrounded by them.

I've got what looks to be the same thing at home (from the colour of the trunk and leaf shape), but its labeled Eucalyptus cladocalyx var. nana?

That being said, I bought it from the green shed, so I don't know how accurate the label is

Edit: Yeah, I'm pretty sure its a Dwarf Sugar Gum... but then... i'm no expert lol

Great start on no 2 Irish.That is going to be a narly trunk. when you were ground growing did you do any root work before you planted them?

Irish - looking good mate. Time will improve it out of sight.
I thought it looked like Eucalyptuc cinerea (Aygyle Apple), but like Budhi, I have been wrong many times.

Sorry, I totally had my plants at home mixed up. What I meant to say was that I think this is a Eucalyptus polyanthemos... not the Sugar Gum I originally thought (I have both at home). My bad

Hi.

Mate, played the roots out, dug a bit of a hole placed a peice of cermatic tile under it, ( bout 12 cm by 12cm) Placed a hand full of soil on top of the tile placed the tree in the middle played the roots out.
