I think I planted this Eucalyptus subcrenulata in late 2018. It replaced an American Linden that died of unknown cause. This was a small potted tree, about a foot tall. Now I can't reach the top, about 9 feet tall. E. subcrenulata is considered among the more cold hardy Eucalyptus, originating in Tasmania. The young leaves have a eucalyptus fragrance when crushed, but the older leaves have a sort of a mysterious curry type fragrance. Deer have not touched it. The leaves are tough. I don't water this tree at all. I do have a deer fence to protect from buck antler scratching, which can destroy a young tree.
The bark of older trees is described as having streaks of yellow. It looks like the young tree has colorful red bark.
