The
TreeProject seedlings are big:
They've grown quickly! I normally get a kit in late summer. Then trees germinate quickly, but grow slowly over winter, and are ready to be planted out in spring. This time I have one of the early batch, which grow through summer and are planted out in autumn. I haven't heard yet when they will go, but most of these are ready now.
Manna gums,
Eucalyptus viminalis in the front, red box,
E. polyanthemos, behind:
These two species are about 50cm tall now, but the champions are the river red gums,
E. camaldulensis:
60 centimetres tall!
There are more trees here than we had to cut down on our block, which is a little bit of a comfort. Over the years I've grown around 6,000 trees for TreeProject. It's nice to know that there are so many trees out there somewhere that I've grown from seed. Maybe some of them will still be growing hundreds of years after I've gone.

I know you were a bit distressed about the removal of trees on your block but you have more than paid for them with all the thousands of trees you have supplied for the TreeProject. Not to mention the effort and dedication in doing so. I wouldn't give it another thought, you've earned the right to build there. Not many people can claim that. I am so excited for you that the process has begun on your new home. Good luck and smooth sailing!
