whats brown and whats not
as of this morning.
Re: whats brown and whats not
what species of eucalyptus is it? I once tried growing one of those, you could imagine what happened in the winter to it, never to be seen again, the top part was blowing around like a tumbleweed come spring, but I loved the scent it had.

Im guessing globulus or pauciflora. I dug 2 of them out of my cousins yard in California foothills. Winter lows there, around 20F. Occasionally colder, but not often.
Re: whats brown and whats not
I tried one called eucalyptus gunnii subspecies archeri. That's when I was into trying everything exotic, and now I stick with things that work without much care.

Lance, try cornalyptus popifolia. Legend has it that if you set the tree on fire after 10 years, a frenzy of light and fluffy treats will be mysteriously propelled from within.
Apparently these are a very rare tree.

I tried and will perhaps retry E neglecta, it is purportedly quite hardy and there is apparently an old 20+ footer in Cincinnati that has endured -8F.
