RE: Replanting Eucalyptus Cinerea

I don't think there is much that can be done now. Lots of Aussie natives don't like to be moved or have their roots disturbed.

Do a small test by lifting a tiny piece of bark from the trunk part. If it's still green under that, then it's not yet dead so keep treating it in your usual way.

I've had some of my eucalypts defoliate when young and stressed, Some of them do die, others surprise me after a good lot of rain and humidity in the air and start to grow back again. Some have died right back to the roots but again, after a good patch of rain, have sprouted new growth from the base. Give it till the end of spring to see if it will produce new growth, if you don't mind it staying in till after autumn next year even better - often the regrowth I've experienced has occurred during autumn.

Even the hard, dull, dry ground harbours life - which is brought to the surface with the fresh touch of drenching rain (or the humble watering can).

Hi 14theroze,
Thank you for the advice.I will definitely follow your advise and wait until autumn next year.I am so attached to this tree plus, it's really difficult to find this breed.
