Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.
How to Take a Eucalyptus Cutting. Juvenile eucalyptus trees root better than adult trees. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), are ornamental trees, that often grow to heights of 80 to 120 feet. Native to Australia, eucalyptus grow in the warmer climates of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 6 through 11, depending upon the species. They're easy to propagate from seed, but you can also clone them through rooted cuttings taken from juvenile trees.
Hardwood cuttings are also only taken from shrubs, bushes and trees that lose their leaves every year. This method will not work with evergreen plants. 1  Cut off a hardwood cutting that is 12 to 48 inches long. 2  Trim the end of the cutting to be planted just below where a leafbud grows on the branch.
