Eucalyptus crebra 1
This was purchased from Plants Plus in Cumberland State Forest in about 2020. I've not seen many of these grown.
This is the greatest Eucalyptus of all the Eucs.
It strongly ticks all the boxes for a Euc bonsai in my opinion:
-The leaves droop so it looks like how they often do on a hot day
-The branching weeps.
-The leaves develop like a scythe and the smaller leaves maintain that appearance not like a lot of other jeuvenile euc foliage.
-Its incredibly hardy, easily tolerates over-watering, and drought, and has no problem with myrtle rust
-Dieback is very rare, even when subjected to long periods of drought or ridiculously long wet conditions without sun.
-It constantly shoots from cutbacks.
But I would recommend growing them large, as they look much better as large bonsai.
