Summer in Japan for Eucalyptus

Many seedling of Eucalyptus died in summer of 2011.

Was the summer of 2011 too hot for the eucalyptus?

This graph is comparison of the temperature of 2010 and 2011.

Hirakara-shi Osaka japan.


I think about the same even if I compare the temperature of 2011 with the temperature of 2010.

Temperature was not a cause and would be caused by other environment. .....?



I examined the daylight hours and precipitation.




The unit of the daylight hours is hours.



The unit of precipitation is mm.
















In periods from May to September,




The daylight hours of 2011 was decrease more 90-hour than 2010.

The precipitation of 2011 is increase of 140mm than 2010.

I think that it was the environment where the soil of the flowerpot is hard to dry.

Drying of the soil of the flowerpot will be an important thing for Eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus and oyster husk calcium hydroxide

I read "The method to let Okamurasaki lavender bloom in Kagawa" of Ossan-lavender san (user name).

You sprinkle a large quantity of organic lime, and you sprinkle a large quantity of water, and let's dissolve organic lime.
He said,  do not mind the freeze.

I sprinkled a large quantity of oyster husk calcium hydroxide on a eucalyptus and dissolved it with a large quantity of water in spite of the coldest time.

I photographed this in January.


Because I have sprinkled it on all pots, I do not understand the difference of the growth when I do not sprinkle it.

I add some information,

In Australia,
Limestone of world heritage Pinnacle,
The beautiful shore of the sand bar that limestone was pared off,
I feel that there are many things which assume lime a keyword.

Some of Eucalyptus growing wild should be brought up in the ground of the limestone that the bottom of the sea rose.
In that case, what does a eucalyptus grow in the nourishment source in in desert?
I thought the nourishment source of the eucalyptus to be calcium water and mineral water.

But, there may be a factor elsewhere

If keyword is a calcium, a mineral, and calcium hydroxide , is oyster husk calcium hydroxide one of the choices as a nourishment source of the eucalyptus?
I have sprinkled a large quantity of oyster husk calcium hydroxide like Hanasakajii-san without the consequences.

As a result, I seemed not bad for a eucalyptus.

Furthermore,

Eucalyptuses doing its best

They are Eucalyptus which I thought to have already died.




Botanical name : Eucalyptus Moon Lagoon
Common name : Fine-Leafed mallee



The leaf becomes brown and is dry.


It died by cold wind of the winter season.












But a sprout came out of a stem.












Botanical name : Eucalyptus perriniana
Common name : Spinning gum


Because the eucalyptus is a trunk of the thickness of around 0.5 millimeters, and the tip dies, and a leaf fell, it is the seedling which thought that I completely died.

It died by cold wind of the winter season.

It was too too thin, and it was too small, and focus did not match when I made a camera auto.






Botanical name : Eucalyptus morrisbyi
Common name : Morrisby's gum


I have planted eight of them in one pot.

In the early spring, I took the wrong timing of the watering and have killed it.

The leaf sticks, but is all dry.













But a lot of sprouts came out of the root neighborhood.









They are deep-rooted eucalyptuses.
