Eucalyptus (Omeo Gum)
Eucalyptus is an Australian genus of over 700 woody species valuable for their timber, use as a food source for koalas, provider of wood for the Aboriginal musical instrument, the digeridoo, and for producing an aromatic oil used in cough drops and insect repellents. From our extensive winter hardiness trials during the cold 1990s we discovered only three species that didn't die completely at -1 degrees F, with Eucalyptus neglecta toppin ghte list.
