Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This large growing and vigorous eucalypt, very rare in North America, is generally similar to E. viminalis but with rough bark on the lower trunk and smooth branches, which makes for a rather interesting look. We expect it to be very adaptable and easy to grow. For sheltered gardens only in the Northwest - where not fully hardy it would make an excellent coppice or foliage plant. Probably hardy to around 15 °F or perhaps lower if we're lucky.
