Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) 50 Seeds ~One of the Tallest Tree in The world
 
 
The Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) is a truly iconic and awe-inspiring tree, holding the title as one of the tallest flowering plants in the world. This magnificent eucalypt is characterized by its towering, straight trunk, often smooth and pale grey to white, with rough, persistent bark only at the very base. Its lance-shaped green leaves provide a dense canopy, and it produces small, creamy-white flowers. An exceptional choice for reforestation, large estates, or landscapes where an imposing, grand tree is desired, it creates a powerful natural statement.
 
 
To prepare Mountain Ash seeds for planting, no specific pre-treatment like scarification or cold stratification is typically required. Eucalyptus seeds, including Eucalyptus regnans, generally germinate well without these methods. However, ensuring the seeds are fresh is important for good viability. A simple test is to float them in water; viable seeds will usually sink.
 
 
Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of a well-draining seed-raising mix in a sunny position. Lightly cover the seeds with a very thin layer of fine sand or soil – no more than 1-2mm deep – as some light can assist in their germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent damping off. Germination usually occurs within 2-4 weeks, but can be variable. Once seedlings are sturdy enough to handle, carefully prick them out and transplant them into individual pots. Gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions before planting them in their permanent position, ensuring they have plenty of sun and good drainage. Given their potential enormous size, select a site where they will have ample room to grow without obstruction from buildings or power lines.
