With the ongoing drought in the Southeastern US, Eucalyptus trees may offer a fast growing option that requires little watering during the summer.

The following species should grow well

Eucalyptus neglecta – Omeo Gum (zones 7a – 10b,possibly 6b )

Eucalyptus dalrympleana – Mountain Gum (zones 7a – 10b)

Eucalyptus nicholii – Willow-leaved Peppermint (zones 7b – 10b)

Eucalyptus niphophila – Snow Gum (zones 7a – 10b)

Eucalyptus cinerea – Siver Dollar Eucalyptus (zones 7b – 10b)
