Show Eucalyptus Valuable Tree. Eucalyptus will grow under many adverse conditions, so long as they are protected from frost. The young trees cannot stand frost, and this fact has restricted the growth of the species to certain favorable sections of California Cali-fornia and the Southwest. On the other hand, the trees will thrive on very poor soil and they do not require very much attention. Some of the largest commercial plantations, maintained main-tained by railroad companies for tle-malrtng tle-malrtng purposes, are located along the shores of the Pacific ocean near San Diego, where their principal moisture comes from the heavy fogs that roll In from the sea, and which are absorbed by the leaves. |
