Information only. The latest magazine advertises Hayloft miniature Eucalyptus. They do not have any until next April due to a failure of crop.

    Normal eucalyptus are huge trees. Have you checked the ultimate size of a ' miniature ' tree?

    It says height and spread one metre, but the picture is of one in a pot. I suspect it need regular pruning to keep it that size.

    It says that when mature it’ll need pruning to control size. 🤔

    I have several E.gunnii which I coppice every year. This keeps them to about 5-6 feet tall, and also keeps the lovely blue juvenile foliage.

    Maybe there's an ad coming  :D

    It's a rather odd first post. Are you looking to buy eucalyptus @arossrob? There will be other suppliers.

    Sorry if I have caused any confusion. As it was a full page advert spread in the magazine it was just to let readers know of the situation to save them time contacting the company to buy this product like I did. Thank you for your replies and I am glad my first post worked.

    Apologies @arossrob.
    In addition to what @Dovefromabove has said, we've also had a lot of WUMs and general troublemakers on the forum recently, which can make us suspicious  ;)
