Excerpt from Eucalyptus in California Since the introduction of the first species of Eucalyptus, the seeds of other species have been imported each year by seedsmen, nurserymen, and in many cases ranch owners, until at the present time there are growing in the State nearly one hundred species. The University of California. Has seventy named species growing on the Forestry Station grounds at. Santa Monica, Cal.; there are specimen trees Of nearly every species over ten years Of age, and bearing seed at the present time, while there are young trees Of all the promising lumber Eucalypts. From this large collection there can be selected species that will grow on nearly any soil in a frostless region, while there are a few that can endure temperature as low as 18° F. Without injury. There are a few Eucalypts that can stand extremes of temperature from 20° F. To 120° F and at different altitudes; but with these trees it is as with any other. There is one certain location best adapted to the greatest develop ment; it may be a situation near the coast in a foggy atmosphere, the river bottom lands, the inland valleys or in swamps. Care should be taken in selecting a species for any certain locality, that the conditions there are the ones which will bring the species in question to the highest point Of development.
