Cultivation and Propagation

Eucalyptus resinifera is a fast-growing, evergreen tree that can reach up to 25 m in height. It is usually propagated from seed, which should be sown in a well-drained seed bed in spring. It is also possible to propagate from cuttings, which should be taken from the current season's growth. The cuttings should be treated with a rooting hormone and placed in a moist, well-drained medium. The cuttings should be kept in a warm, humid environment until they have rooted.
