Abstract

Ninety-two species of Eucalyptus were evaluated at the University of California re- search station in San Jose. The purpose: to find acceptable new street and park trees. Growth rates and horticultural characteristics were noted. Forty-three species were studied in locations statewide to evaluate site adaptation and landscape usefulness; flooded, cold, dry, saline. Susceptibility-to and recovery-from the prolonged freeze of December 1972 was studied and published. Species response was wide. Prevention of unwanted resprouts was studied. Four alternatives for success were offered.
