What we learned in Southern Euc Trials In McDonough, GA (zone 8A) tree is thriving in the shade under a 100 year old Pecan. In Atlanta, GA (zone 7B), 10 month old Eucalyptus trees had minimal leaf damage and looked great after a winter where temps reached 5° F. In Western, NC (zone 6B), 10 month old trees that froze to the ground at minus 10° F regrew vigorously from the base.
