SUITABILITY OF FLORIDA TO EUCALYPTUS CULTURE. 



11 



The region in Florida in which eucalypts can be successfully 

 grown may thus be roughly defined as the orange belt. In some 

 cases, and with some species of eucalypts, this range may be safely 

 extended, but as a rule these trees should not be planted where frost 

 makes the cultivation of the orange unprofitable. 



This limits the potential climatic range for plantations of eu- 

 calypts to that portion of the peninsula south of the twenty-ninth 

 parallel of latitude, or to about 40 per cent of the total area of the 

 State.

Fig. 1. Map of Florida, showing approximately the area climatically adapted to eucalypts. 



On the accompanying map (fig. 1) are indicated the areas which 

 are climatically suited for growing certain species of eucalyptus. 

 The lighter shading indicates the areas where the least frost-sensitive 

 species may be planted, while the most frost sensitive should not be 

 planted outside of the area indicated by the darker shading.
