We have previously seen in EUCALYPTOLOGICS a good number of examples of Eucalyptus regeneration at their natural habitats in Australia, timber plantations overseas and garden designs using these plants. Today we re-visit this topic from an angle that can be useful for those growers having overgrown potted eucalypts. A new outlook for those plants can be achieved taking advantage of Eucalyptus stubborness to survive.
