Posted by talford on 8/6/2007, 5:17 pm, in reply to "Well done!" I should say that the planter (of the eucs on this property) is pretty sure as to : E. camaldulensis,E.robusta,E.camaldulensis var. subcinerea (very beautiful tree),and C.ptychocarpa. He is fairly sure that a couple of clumps are Either E.albens OR E.dwyeri. As to E. blaklie,tereticornus,and grandis,I'm sure he said he planted the seeds, but I'm not sure he said he planted seedlings out, and definitely offered no examples among the eucs growing. There were several types growing that he had no idea what they were , but I am understanding that ten species of seed were the only source of his seedlings that got planted out, so some of these trees that he could not ID have to be (it would seem) E blaklie,tereticornis,and grandis. I should mention that some of these E. robusta were (in my untutored opinion) really loaded down with fat flower buds. They were standing in about 4 inches of water and had been so submerged on and off all spring and summer , because it has been an unusually wet year here in Houston. I did mention to him (the planter) that common name for robusta is swamp mahogany. Later guy, Tom.
