Eucalyptus camaldulensis (River Red Gum) is an evergreen Australian tree endemic to riparian zones. Seeds are small, viable for several years under cold/dry storage, and germinate readily from fresh or stored seed without mandatory stratification.
Before sowing
Cold stratification for 2 months at 40°F or 30 days at 4°C optional but beneficial
Sowing
What to expect
Tips
Light requirements satisfied with 8 hours daily; do not cover seed, use thin sand layer only; keep moist but not waterlogged; seeds do not require stratification but cold treatment enhances results; germinate very quickly (3 days peak); excellent for nursery propagation
