I would like to plant 2000 Eucalyptus parvula (parvifolia) for cut foliage. My soil has a pH 7.5 and is sandy-clayey. Anyway it is not wet and is very sunny. Do you think that the leaves will be good enough to be sold?
Thank you.
Fernando di Mieri
P.S.: where do you think I can buy the best plants?

Dear Fernando, good morning.
Unfortunately my expertise with Eucalyptus parvifolia is close to nil.
What I can do is to recommend some material for reading and some websites of organizations that could eventually provide some useful information to you.
Eucalyptus parvifolia is a not very popular Eucalyptus species, it is more a shrub than a tree, but it is tolerant to some soil and weather rougher conditions. The foliage is valuable, but the leaves are small in size and not so abundant. Have a look in the literature and please, try to grab more information before your final decision. There are some references where you may eventually find the plants in Italy. Please, visit:
