re variegated trees

John,
I'm not aware of any Eucalyptus that are hardy into USDA zone 7: suggestions?

Chris,
Actually I'm looking for both kinds: solid or tastefully variegated leaves.
We have 66 acres of native ex-timberland and I'm trying to enrich the
foliage colors for all seasons (though the natives aren't bad for Fall).
Natives here are Pines, Oaks, Hickories, Sweet Gum (Liquidamber), Black Gum
(Nyssa) and lots of large native Dogwood (Cornus florida).

I like conifers too. Who is Iseli's? I just bought some nice Cupressus
glabra 'Carolina Sapphire'.

Thanks for everyone's help.
