WANTED: Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta)

Comments (32)"I hope we can still get that cool rainbow look but I'm really just happy I'm getting any growth at all right now." Not in Virginia Beach but it's impressive, surprising even, that it managed to return from the roots. Where did your gift giver get it - or did you ask? I think they are pretty rare in commerce. "We have a lot of crepe mertles here that people cut back and the tree regrows its branches back, would a eucalyptus do the same?" It would but it's a bad idea, especially for crape myrtle. Google "crape murder" - I believe there used to be a website....See Morerainbow eucalyptus
Comments (9)LOL. I'm sure the Pasadena tree looks like that on the rare occasions it DOES rain in southern California, bboy. And I'm sure my middling digital camera didn't fully pick up on the coloration. I remember the picture not being like the experience. The bluish sheen in particular was washed out or missing from the camera's color gamut. It certainly didn't seem to be struggling when I was there. Hard to tell from the picture but that trunk is at least 2' in diameter, probably more, and the crowns were up around 80' I'd guess. To me the only issue with promoting this species in SoCal is it obviously isn't water wise. And therefore only belongs in botanical collections, IMHO.

Comments (4)No, it will not be ok. E. deglupta is frost intolerant at any age/size. There is some evidence that it may tolerate very light frost for short periods but anything close to 32 degrees is probably going to be the end of it....See Moremsgaz
