For the first few years after planting, maintain a circle of bare soil, free of weeds and other plants, around the base of the trunk, about 1m (3⅓ft) in diameter.
Mulching is recommended for the first few years of their life, but the use of manure is overkill and will result in overly leafy growth. WaterPlant eucalyptus in spring and summer, so they have plenty of time to get establishedbefore winter. Pruning, coppicing and pollarding are all viable means of altering the shape and size of the tree as it develops, though none are essential if the location and conditions in which it is planted are satisfactory.
Wherever you decide to position them, think carefully about the location before doing so as they don’t take kindly to being uprooted. How To Plant
