I cut a whole branched trunk off my eucalyptus gunnii and it it sprouted straight away and now, two years later, it has bushed up and grown 5 feet.

@thomasschimmeyer8715 3 года назад

I love this time of year! You are off to a great start.

@birdhouseblooms 3 года назад

Thank you for all the info on coppicing eucalyptus! I just started some from seed last year and they overwintered well. Now I'll just be waiting for them to reach the right diameter to cut 😀

@wildberrygarden 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! I have some eucalyptus so it was so useful to see the coppicing! I'm learning so much from you.

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Let’s hope we get lots of healthy usable shoots from them! Thank you!

I grew craspedia last year and have over wintered it in my greenhouse and all looks good

@christinebrooks6364 3 года назад

Love your videos, lots of content, I do grow some flowers but, looking to grow more. I have an allotment but, never thought much about flowers so, now I am. Thank you for posting and look forward to watching more 😊

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Hi Chris, I’m sure you’ll get hooked on them as you grow more! I bet your friends and family will be glad too!

@EmsPlantPlaceEmmaLeeFreistadt 3 года назад

Eucalyptus is my absolute favourite! ours dose not grow nearly that big here in BC Canada that I know of! I wasn’t able to find any seeds this year to try to grow some for the first time, hopefully next season!

@sarahjaynesmith 3 года назад

So excited for eucalyptus this year. Missed out on seeds, can't find them anywhere so I'll just have to live through yours!

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

That's a shame!! I'm looking forward to trying out some new varieties, specifically eucalyptus citriodora! I love the elongated leaf varieties in wreaths etc.

@anaprep 3 года назад

Cutting the trees totally works, just in case you are worried. We had a eucalyptus come down in a storm and from then on it produced lots and lots of long foliage stems perfect for cutting for the house. It's going to be fine.

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Oh that’s great! I’m looking forward to seeing what comes from the coppicing!

@meganfarley672 3 года назад

I have an aluminium greenhouse (palram) and it uses the same type of bolts in the runners also. Can't wait to see all the new growth of your eucalyptus. They're pretty hardy plants do the should cope alright 😊

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Ah interesting! That’s good to know! Yes it will be interesting to see how many new shoots we get from each trunk!

@inbloom2006 3 года назад

Mine does as well (another Palram) and they're such a pain! Any tips for getting them to stay in place properly? My vent opener is hanging loose because the little bolt popped out and I can't get it to sit right.

@meganfarley672 3 года назад

@@inbloom2006 I haven't had any problems thus far with the bolts tho they do slide around before the nut goes on. My vent did feel loose in the beginning but I have since tightened it really tight and now it's okay 😊 the only thing maybe it's not on correctly. I know when I built mine I did some things wrong in the construction stage 😂 I put the bracket on the wrong way on the vent and it just wouldn't stay open so possibly it's on upside down?

@inbloom2006 3 года назад

@@meganfarley672 it was fine for several months, but then when we had strong winds the vent window got torn off and I can't get it to reconnect properly. Maybe the track got bent out of shape a bit.

@annecanty1227 3 года назад

Absolutely love your videos work ethic and attitude.Unfortunately because of Brexit we can't get seeds or the super shelf brackets in Ireland at moment. Hope you have great season.

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

That’s so kind thank you Anne, oh no what a shame that you’re struggling to get seeds! I bet there aren’t too many Irish seed companies either?

@annecanty1227 3 года назад

We can get lots of seeds but I love the company you recommend "Plants of Distinction "They have lots of special varieties .Keep up the great videos and will enjoy following your progress.

@sarahthomas-dawe329 4 месяца назад

How did the eucalyptus trees get on? We have 3 in our garden we want to coppice.... not sure if we've left it too late in the season 🤔 but may just go for it tomorrow morning 😅

@supernaturalbeauty2638 3 года назад

So glad I stumbled across your channel, loving the content you're uploading! Are there any types of seeds you will hold off on planting until after the frosts have gone or do you just risk it in the unheated greenhouse?

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

I risk most things now! There’s nothing in particular that I’m holding off on that I can think of

@pharmajo6368 3 года назад

It would be great to see an update on how your eucalyptus has bounced back from their coppicing

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

If you watch my July farm tour there’s a snippet of the eucalyptus in that 😁

@pharmajo6368 3 года назад

@@bloomandgray thank you! I came across your channel looking for information about coppicing eucalyptus. The irony is strong - we don't routinely coppice our eucalyptus in Australia, so I am having to look at UK and US information! I just love your information on sustainable flower growing.

@gavinpowell8538 Год назад

If you like them so much you should move to Austraila lol

@carolineholland4178 3 года назад

Hi, thank you for the advice on coppicing eucalyptus. Is it worthwhile drying the foliage from the cut trees? If so can it be rehydrated and used with cut flowers in the summer? I love your channel ❤ 💕. Can't wait to see what is going on in the summer and it is lovely to see your animals running about so happily 😊 😀

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

I don’t think you could rehydrate it but some people may like to use it dried! I’m looking forward to summer videos too!

@riverfrontfarm5917 3 года назад

What is the temp inside your greenhouse and do you use vents?

@marilynm2086 3 года назад

I can’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers/views.

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Hopefully things will continue to grow 😁

@phil7791 Год назад

What age were those trees at the time? Did you grow them from seed?

@lisaharvey9642 3 года назад

I’m just wondering if you have heaters you use for your greenhouses at this time of year or just rely on the unpredictable sunshine? I love gardening but I can’t touch worms without wearing my gardening gloves 🤣😝🪱 x

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

Hey I don’t use heaters no. Just relying on the good old British sunshine 😂 I can’t believe there’s a 🪱 emoji 😂 xx

@sophiaspiers2056 3 года назад

Do you have any heat mats (or any general heating) under your greenhouse seedlings? Or is it au naturale warmth? 🤩

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

It’s au naturale 😉 I do have a heat mat that I normally use but I haven’t had it out this season yet!

@grahamarnold4823 3 года назад

Do you pot on all your flowers, or do you plant any out directly from the seed trays ?😁

@bloomandgray 3 года назад

I will plant them directly from seed trays further on in the season when it’s warm enough for them to go out. When I sow in February/ March it is a bit too long for them to be waiting in the same tray until May time.
