Can trees from the Southern Hemisphere trees survive in the Northern Hemisphere?
Q. I remember when I was in middle school, a teacher told me trees in the Southern Hemisphere cannot be transplanted into the Northern Hemisphere (and be expected to survive) because of the rotation of the trees in the hemispheres. I was wondering if this is a fact. Please include SOURCES to verify or negate the above. Thank you all in advance!

A. There are many eucalyptus trees growing happily in the northern hemisphere. You find evidence in every garden centres and in many gardens. Other trees I have personally grown very successfully include Araucaria (both Monkeypuzzle and A. araucana). During the time of the British empire people have brought back trees and other plants to Britain, many of those are still here, I never heard any of them complain about the earth rotation. I think your teacher was pulling your leg.
