Hi
I have a Eucalyptus tree in a pot for over a year now. I want to transplant it to soil in the garden. What time of year is best to do this?
Thank Greg

Hi. I have a eucalyptus which is getting too big for my garden. It's about 2.5m. Can I transplant it to a big container? If so, when is the best time? If not, can I keep it small but should I worry about the roots close to waste pipes? Thanks for any comments.
