But Rupa Bose, leader of a group called Save Mount Sutro, says eucalyptuses don't pose a severe fire threat in San Francisco because they are kept wet and cool much of the year by the city's fog. ❋ Jim Carlton (2011)
"It's quiet everywhere here," he says, gesturing to the meadow and the towering eucalyptuses that border it. ❋ Michael Judge (2011)

The paths were lit with gleaming statues, and among the palms and the eucalyptuses were orange trees full of their golden globes, which we wondered were not stolen till we were told they were of that bitter sort which are mostly sent to Scotland, not because they are in accord with the acrid nature of man there, but that they may be wrought into marmalade. ❋ Unknown (2004)
Meanwhile Algeciras was altogether delightful not only because of our Kate – Greenaway hotel, embowered in ten or twelve acres of gardened ground, with walks going and coming under its palms and eucalyptuses, beside beds of geraniums and past trellises of roses and jasmines, all in the keeping of a captive stork which was apt unexpectedly to meet the stranger and clap its formidable mandibles at him, and then hop away with half-lifted wings. ❋ Unknown (2004)

Given the number of trees that will be produced, there will likely be enough genetic instability to allow a very small number of the freeze-tolerant eucalyptuses to reproduce .., ❋ Unknown (2010)
ArborGen's freeze-tolerant eucalyptuses have been grown in much colder conditions up into the Carolinas. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In its draft environmental assessment, the USDA agreed that the risk of reproduction within ArborGen's test plots or of crosses with unrelated eucalyptuses nearby is small. ❋ Unknown (2010)
But Grassetti's Hills Conservation Network argues that the eucalyptuses are not responsible for the large Oakland-Berkeley conflagrations, and that eucalyptus groves can actually help prevent fires. ❋ Judith Scherr (2010)
