Eucalyptus

Not sure what kind of Eucalyptus this is, but the freeze mase it change color, Ed

It looks like E. perriniana - Spinning Gum to me.

If so it should take a power of cold - they are native to inland Tasmania...brrr!

Mind you it could be any number of other species as well. Eucs are devils to tell apart without seed capsule and flower details.

Few eucs are common in Floriduh, but that one looks like E. cinerea to me. There are a few people who grow it around here.

Agree that these are difficult to tell apart with only juvenile foliage. E. perriniana, E. pulverulenta, E. cinerea are very differentiate as youngsters.

I concur with Jerry--E. cinerea seems to be the most likely one if it thrives in FL.

Here's a photo of the whole tree, Ed

Nope - that aint E. perriniana.

I should have thought about that a bit harder - I dont think the humidity in Florida would agree too well with Spinning Gum, though you never know.

I agree with E. cinerea - the rough bark on the lower trunk looks right.

Cheers,

Definitely E. cinerea. They do well in humid climates as long as they are not waterlogged/flooded too often.
