Debbie, I am pretty sure your Eucalyptus would be hardy down there in South Georgia. Says zone 8 on several sites...which you are probably in..if not 9a, (not sure where Blackshear is). However, I am not sure if you should go ahead and stick it in the ground or wait until early spring. (I would bring it inside if you are going to wait until spring though, as the pot may freeze solid.)
