In 2020, I planted a Tasmanian Alpine Eucalyptus, Eucalyptus subcrenulata. It was marked as cold hardy to this area. Last winter had some major cold snaps. If I remember correctly, as low as 19 F.
I haven't taken much time to examine the tree, since the freeze. It's quite tall now, no way can I look at the top growth.
Low branches definitely had a lot of freeze. Many are dead.
For comparison, here is new growth in 2021.
I think the top is OK. It seems to be maturing from juvenile oval leaves, to mature lance shaped leaves.
It would be fun if the mature growth bloomed this year. As always, time will tell.
