Identification

• Eucalyptus trees are renowned for being fast growers, reaching half of their final growth in the first decade, according to Gardening Know How. However, if you do not properly water your tree, it may not grow at all.
  
  

Water

• Once your eucalyptus tree has established itself, it will require only infrequent waterings, according to Gardening Know How. The soil should be nearly dry before watering. Be sure to place your tree in well-draining soil.
  
  

Considerations

• More than water, eucalyptus trees need a warm environment to thrive. If temperatures drop below 50 degrees F, your tree will likely die. In excessively dry periods, you may also have to water your eucalyptus tree more than normal.
