Can this tree live indoors?

We keep ours indoors over the winter and it seems to do fine. It definitely thrives when it is outside, but I don't think it is absolutely necessary as long as it has plenty of natural light. It does grow fairly quickly and might soon outgrow a low ceiling!

I am not sure mine is indoors> I think it could handle the heat or cold. just not the rain or snow

Unless you are ready to trim it each week, it grows wild so I would not recommend it for indoor.

Yes, I believe so. This is really well-made tree. It also lays flat against the wall. I would recommend it.

It needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day it is not an indoor tree unless it's a hot house mine is outside unless the temperature drops below 30 degrees.

I have planted mine in a pot and keep it indoors. I would assume as long as you keep it moist and away from direct harsh sunlight that it would be fine.

Almost all plants that grow outside can grow inside (but not all indoor plants will grow outdoors) the question is under what conditions-it it receives adequate sun, moisture and even temperature, it will live but whether or not it blooms under these conditions I couldn't tell you not knowing those factors. The plants I recieved are growing but not robustly which I attribute to our wierd weather this year-in the 60s one week upper 90s the next

Hey Bruce, I bought one of these a year and a half ago. I still have it potted in the house and it is growing strong!The tree was nicely packed and the roots were in a small plastic container with a little water in it.

I haven't grown mine yet, but if you do some research, you will see it is a tropical, and even the little bit of frost will kill it. I plan on growing mine indoors.

Absolutely they grow indoors..They will benefit from a window location, preferably a window facing the south.

Not really. You will be able to put a branch in to perch on but there is not enough floor space for it to roam.

I just realized how long ago this was originally posted, but thought I would answer anyway in case someone looks at it in the future. I have bought several of these little olive trees from Hirts, and have never been disappointed, even in the middle of Winter. If they are kept indoors, there shouldn't be any problem with keeping them alive. They are sturdy, pest and disease-resistant trees and do very well indoors. For outdoors, I would recommend a stronger variety like "mission" olive trees, since they can withstand temperatures down to 20 degrees.

I do not think it would last long outside exposed to heat or cold. The wood is very light weight. Perfect indoors.

I would check with your local nursery before using it a potted tree. They would give you the best answer to your question.

Not to be an ass here, but does no one have access to the Internet to search and investigate? So, to do the work for people, here's the information on this particular tree. I would suggest one looks up any plant for it's success in their yard: http://www.pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Eucalyptus+gunnii And to answer your specific question, no, for zone 4-5, and starting it indoor to plant in zone 4 or 5 would be pointless.

Yes keep in window or well lit area and water when soil is dry it is a very hardy plant!

It can, but this tree can get as big as 25 ft high and 25 feet wide. I was told it will only grow as big as the pot but I don't know if that's true. At one point, I thought it died but then it came back from another shoot. It's about 6 ft high and 5 ft wide right now. I don't have the room if it's going to get much bigger. I would go with the dwarf tree next time.
