Alpine Eucalyptus at 2 years. 10.30.2020

 This is the end of the second year for this Tasmanian Alpine Eucalyptus.  Also called Tasmanian Yellow Gum.   It's reportedly more cold hardy than the types known in California.  With la nina this year, we'll find out.

It's difficult to see in the photo, this tree is now about 7 foot tall.  That is without watering this year.  I don't think deer have touched it at all.  It has tough leaves with a somewhat odd fragrance, which may make them unappetizing.  When fully grown, it should have colorful bark


 

Another close up.  The new growth can be quite nice.
