Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Many nurseries throw out hybrid eucalyptus trees, because they do not know what they will look like when they mature. As the recipient of some such trees many years ago, I can now say that these hybrids are some of the best eucalypts in my collection, showing amazing vigor and holding up splendidly to strong winds and cold temperatures. Among these are two E. glaucescens hybrids, the other parent of which may be E. dalrympleana (most likely) or E. rubida. Both straight trunked, smooth barked trees, they are growing vigorously and are probably on their way to a large size of 100' or more. These trees I am offering now will be similar. They have never been damaged by frost so hardiness could be in the neighborhood of 0 °F, a slight improvement over E. dalrympleana. Will have pendulous adult leaves, smooth bark, nice!
