| Hi there, I'm new to this forum and new to gardening. If there is anyone out there that has some experience with this tree i would welcome all advise given. This year was the first year i planted anything outside and I've never had an indoor house plant. So i'm really getting into growing and i've purchased some seeds from a seller online of Eucalyptus Corymbia ficifolia seeds but i've had little success on finding out the proper way of germinating this particular species of Eucalyptus and at the moment i have one seed being surface sowed outside in a pot with a cover. Any advise is greatly welcomed. :) How do i germinate this beauty? |

| I believe you have seeds like these in the photo, correct? I found these acorn yesterday under a magnificent tree. Some weeks ago I bought 12 different kind of trees seeds. Most are in the frozen (Abies, betula, ...) others are already growing (laburnum, quercus, jacarandá). From where I bought them I received instructions about how to take care of them. About this Eucalytpus I have no idea, but I am going to find out. We will keep in touch in order to find the best solution.

| Thanks for responding ampa62, These are what my seeds look like, i'm hoping what could possibly be inside those pods? I ordered these online, nevertheless i've had no luck germinating them. I've tried just surface sowing on a sandy medium which i then put cling film over and placed outside under diffused lighting. Then i after two weeks in the fridge ... nothing. I think the seeds actually crumbled apart when i picked it up. So that was a big fail. TBF, some kind people on here told me they germinate at 65-70 temp. It's been high 70's to mid 80's when i tried. It's just now starting to cool down. But, yes! i would welcome and love all tips as my goal is to have one of these beauties in my back yard. Scarlet |
