Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is the eucalyptus most often seen as cut foliage at the florist, with the juvenile leaves that encircle the stem. This from a high elevation collection that is upright and stately, quickly reaching 30 ft, with flaking bark and long, narrow adult leaves to 6" with juvenile foliage showing as well. Requires full sun, lean and well- drained soil, and little summer water once established. Easy and very frost hardy, to 0° F, USDA zone 7, or lower.
