Hi Richo, I am in zone 3/4 in Wyoming and I’ve heard that there are species of eucalyptus which would actually tolerate this cold of an environment, due to eucalyptus’ lineage dating back to Godwana, or some such. Is this nuts, or does this jibe with what you’ve heard about some eucalyptus species (and if so, which ones?)
