Summary
Few recommendations for post-harvest treatment of cut foliage species are available in the literature. Eucalyptus foliage stored for two weeks had a vase life of 31-59 days when held in an unheated glasshouse. Pulsing with silver thiosulphate or 8-hydroxy-quinoline citrate did not appear to lengthen the vase life. In all experiments senesence was determined visually and symptoms of wilting of young foliage, discolouration of older leaves and leaf drop were observed.
