Planting and Care
Eucalyptus globulus prefers full sunlight and well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, but young trees require regular watering. Fertilize annually with a balanced, organic fertilizer. Prune to remove any dead or damaged branches, especially in windy areas where branches may become brittle. Avoid planting near water sources, as it can consume large amounts of water.
