relatively rare?..
Without a doubt hard to find. You can travel from San Jose to San Francisco and not see one single tree sticking up as far as the horizon. And since it is a large or at least tall tree that says at least hard to find.And those pockets you mentioned are very close together,very close to the bay. You might pass a population of well over a million people to see the one in Fremont. I did see another by the bay in San Mateo. So,that's two i have seen compared to about a billion Blue Gums. Slightly exaggerating....

I have one which is kept in a pot and lives in the polytunnel through the winter. The leaves have the most gorgeous citrus smell when rubbed. I did wonder about its hardiness though. -4C sounds promising so I may be tempted to plant it out in a sheltered spot.
All the best.

Sue,
You can try Eucalyptus -or Corymbia- citriodora, our plants are doing fairly well -but still young- for a couple of years, having coped with temps down to -5ÂșC (for very short spells, that's true), with snow or without it.
