Eucalyptus moorei ssp. nana Seeds - Narrow-Leaved Sally - Fresh Seeds

Description: Eucalyptus moorei ssp. nana Seeds 'Narrow-Leaved Sally - Small Form This is one of the rarest and hardiest among the dwarf Eucalyptus, growing to no more than 10 to 12 feet tall (may be grown in large pots and kept to a size of around 4'). The narrow and fine foliage is a nice contrast to the cream colored clusters of flowers. The flowers are attractive to bees and nectar-loving birds, and are born twice a year in profusion. When in bloom, the trees are absolutely abuzz with bees - making an ideal subject for honey production. The lignotuber is also a point of interest. (What is a lignotuber, you might ask? It is a rounded woody growth at or below ground level, and tends to be on some trees and shrubs that are subject to drought or fire. The swollen trunk contains a mass of buds and food reserves, which can sprout if the plant is damaged or burned.) Does need some annual pruning of deadwood, to keep it tidy. Hardy zones 7-10. Very Rare! One packet contains 1/8 teaspoon of seeds with chaff, as well as detailed sowing instructions. The seeds of this species are rather fine, and (with my old eyes) I no longer want to have to clean the seeds (remove all the seeds from among the chaff - which is very time consuming). There will be many seeds this way, and in 1/8 teaspoon, there should, at the least, be a couple dozen seeds among the chaff. You'll actually get more seeds this way than if I had to clean them! The chaff is inert, and is absolutely fine added to the soil at planting time. With proper storage, Eucalyptus seeds may remain viable for a long time - I've had them sprout after 15 years of storage! Please note: The seeds are fresh and viable, and have been cleaned and are ready for sowing. Success in their germination is up to you - and will be achieved by carefully following the instructions included with your seeds. Sowing seeds requires cleanliness, practice and patience, and frequently have specific requirements and pretreatments. There is a learning curve. I say this because people generally blame the seeds or the seller for a failure in germination, when, in actuality, it is generally because of the one doing the sowing... With that said, I wish you the best of luck with the seeds, and if you have any questions with getting them started, please feel free to contact me. I've been growing and collecting rare and exotic plants for over 45 years and sowing seeds has been a specialty. Most of the trees and shrubs that are growing in my 4 acre garden have been started from seeds; there is something very satisfying about that. All photos are of plants in my own collection - unless stated otherwise. NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING - SORRY - I ONLY SHIP TO THE US. I do combine shipping for multiple items - please request a new shipping total before checking out. Thank you! Upon arrival of the seeds/cutting/plant, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
