Eucalyptus plants have silvery blue-green leaves that give the plant’s distinct ‘menthol’ fragrance when bruised. This evergreen tree can grow up to 60 feet in its natural habitat in Australia.
Most eucalyptus plants are native to Australia, but they have been introduced to places all over the world. Hardy in USDA zones 8-11, eucalyptus plants become tall trees when grown outdoors.
Growing and caring for eucalyptus plants is easy as they only require a little attention. Although, proper planting, location, and adequate care are essential to keep in mind while growing these plants.
Once established, eucalyptus plants can be drought-tolerant. However, it’s best to avoid being left dry for extended periods, or it’ll drop its leaves.
