This is a subtropical evergreen tree, like many others, have their origin in Asia. Nurseries Caroliniana, in S.C., says their peeps discovered this tree growing at an elevation of over 8 thousand feet, above sea level. They rate it at only z7 hardy, but it could prove hardier. Although I'm in z6, my altitude is just shy of 600 feet, above sea level. It'll be interesting to see if this plant is z6 hardy, if it grows that high up, in elevation. The tree is Henry's Hong Kong Rose, Rhodoleia henryi 'Scarlet Bells':

The Buddhist Pine, Podocarpus macrophylla, without its protection, now, has come through a -10F winter:

The HARDY SCHEFFLERA, Schefflera delavyi, is getting ready to put out new leaves. This plant is another BLE subtropical. I just learned that Scheffleras and Fatsias are closely related. I looked this up, after seeing that the new growth on my Spider's Web Fatsia, looks strikingly similar to this, right now. Anyone growing Fatsia should be able to see the "family resemblance", in terms of how new leaves form at the tips of stems, branches, or trunks:

Leaf buds are about to break on this baby PECAN tree, even after -10F. So, I am concluding that pecan nut trees are fully hardy, in z6:

Here are some EUCALYPTUS starts I received. Seems like, I remember discussions, on this board, in the past, but not in years. For those unfamiliar with this Aussie native, it is an evergreen tree. These are smaller-growing Malees. This variety is called, 'Moon Lagoon', and known botanically, as Eucalyptus latens :
