The following table provides a comparison of Eucalyptus tree key characteristics. This is a guide and in some
instances an opinion of what particular Eucalyptus trees are good for; it's not a statement of absolute fact.
For example, aggregata has a 'Yes' in the wet soils column, whereas approximans doesn't. It's a matter of degree.
If your soil is more like wetlands then choose aggregata but if it gets 'squiggy' now and again, then approximans
is likely to grow satisfactorily.
The tree heights we quote are the eventual heights the trees may reach at maturity given ideal growing conditions
and without being trimmed back. In general, the UK does not provide ideal conditions and it's unlikely that they
will reach the quoted heights. In many cases Eucalypts can be used as hedging and can be trimmed easily
to the desired height.
Please note that the folowing table lists all the varieties of Eucalyptus that we grow. However, depending upon the
time of the year and demand, some of these may not be available.
Hopefully you should be able to find a species of Eucalyptus tree that suits your purpose and the environment
it's going into.

Mature Height is the final approximate height, in metres, if it has the best type of soil to grow in and a plentiful supply of water and nutrients.
Growth Rate : What to expect if the tree is well cared for.
Hardiness: *** = less than -15 deg C, ** = between -10 and -15, * = between -5 and -10.
