My quest for a rainbow eucalyptus bonsai. The roots have been trained to be shallow since it was a seedling. Previous failure showed me it doesn't like its roots to be disturbed too much. I also learned the large leaves will go small real quick so I'm not concerned. I also found that the trunk has to be 3" in diameter before it show colors. I wired it briefly when young to have a little movement for fun. Right now it is all about the trunk. I am giving it max sun & max fertilizer: )
I also found that it back bud readily. In the spring I will cut off its baby top and start developing side branches to get taper.
My goal is to have about a foot of trunk with color.
