We bring you today yet other four presentation examples of several types of cold hardy ornamental Eucalyptus. Some of these gum trees are specimen plants in big containers suitable for display at garden centres or urban landscaping and requiring special care in this case. Others of these container grown plants are suitable for direct planting into convenient garden designs but requiring appropriate maintenance operations post-planting.

All these eucalypt types can thrive in USDA Zone 8 and some can tolerate USDA Zone 7 winters in gardens with appropriate microclimates. Most Eucalyptus benefit from full sun exposure and suitable protection from wind damage during their first years.

High quality forestry standard Eucalyptus seedlings at nursery

Complementary to timber oriented eucalypt experience GIT Forestry Consulting's team of Agronomic and Forestry Engineers has conducted horticultural trials in Northwestern Spain with select germplasm of over 30 Eucalyptus types having ornamental potential in both temperate humid Atlantic and Mediterranean climates, and has sorted out detailed individualised solutions to adapt successful productive process engineering to different nursery infrastructures and industrial scale plant production schemes. An interesting range of potential products for the ornamental plant market has been obtained matching high quality standards.
