Newsletters

Regular newsletters are published several times per year to record activities and experiences of Group members in cultivating eucalyptsin various climatic zones, keeping up to date on scientific knowledge of the genus and reporting on field trips to various parts of Australia.

Newsletters published by the Study Group since its inception are provided here as an archive. Not all early issues are currently available but they will be added here if they become available. (Note: These are in pdf format and will require a PDF Reader to view them. Free readers include Foxit Reader and Adobe Acrobat Reader).

More recent newsletters will be uploaded about a year in arrears, so that current Study Group members have privileged access to current content.

Eucalypt Plant Profiles

Profiles of a number of Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora species have been incorporated into the eucalypt section of the ANPSA website, which can be found under ‘Plant Guides > Common Plant Genera and Families’.

Each profile includes a photograph and information on natural distribution, taxonomy, cultivation and propagation.

ANPSA’s Eucalypt section also covers the characteristics, cultivation and propagation of eucalypts generally, and includes references to other relevant resources.
