Eucalyptus parvifolia 110-130cm

Eucalyptus parvifolia, commonly known as the Small-leaved Gum or Small-leaved Ironbark, is a species of eucalyptus tree native to Australia. It is a small to medium-sized tree, reaching heights of up to 10-20 meters (33-66 feet) tall. This evergreen tree is renowned for its attractive, narrow, lance-shaped leaves, which are typically 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) long and 1-2 cm (0.4-0.8 inches) wide. The bark of the Eucalyptus parvifolia is smooth and grey, peeling away in ribbons to reveal a reddish-brown bark beneath. It produces clusters of small, white to cream-colored flowers during the flowering season, attracting bees and other pollinators. The tree's small, urn-shaped fruits contain numerous tiny seeds.

Cultivation:

1. Climate: Eucalyptus parvifolia thrives in a Mediterranean climate, with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers. It can tolerate some frost but prefers temperate to subtropical climates.

2. Sunlight: Plant your Eucalyptus parvifolia in a location where it can receive full sun. These trees require plenty of direct sunlight to grow and develop properly.

3. Soil: Well-draining soil is essential for eucalyptus trees. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil. Sandy or loamy soils with good drainage are ideal.

4. Watering: Eucalyptus parvifolia is drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

5. Pruning: Prune the tree as needed to maintain its shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Eucalyptus trees can handle pruning well.

6. Fertilization: These trees generally don't require heavy fertilization. You can apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to provide essential nutrients.

7. Mulching: Mulch around the base of the tree to help conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.

8. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for pests like scale insects and treat them promptly. Eucalyptus trees are generally resistant to many diseases, but good care practices can help prevent issues.

9. Propagation: Eucalyptus parvifolia can be propagated from seeds. Collect seeds from mature fruits and sow them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.

10. Spacing: When planting multiple Eucalyptus parvifolia trees, space them at least 5-10 meters (16-33 feet) apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.

By following these cultivation tips, you can enjoy the beauty of Eucalyptus parvifolia in your garden while ensuring its health and vigor.
