rainbow eucalyptus as bonsai

[James H]

Does anyone here grow any species Eucalyptus as a bonsai? I have always be interested in everything Australian and was wondering if anyone has tried the Rainbow Eucalyptus or any other eucalyptus.

There was a thread here about this about 8 months ago.

thanks guys for the link. I will have to start doing some searches for started trees soon. Fort Worth might be a good place to try them, I would just have to keep it small enough to bring indoors in the winter.

I've looked into keeping them as bonsai, or even as a landscape plant, since we got engaged under one.

Even with my extremely warm winters (40's, dipping down to the 30's), the trees run the risk of damage from what I've read, anything as low or lower than the 50's.

Maybe with some sort of infra-red heating bulb in the winter? Maybe they might grow indoors?

I was told they dont get the same colors as bonsai...
