I have purchased a few small trees. Some of them are evergreen (Eucalyptus).
Is there any harm in leaving them in their supplied black plastic pots in a
wind-sheltered passage way over the winter where I can look at them out of
the kitchen window?


Sink the pots into the ground for the winter, someplace that
isn't soaking wet. Don't leave them too long in the ground come
spring, or roots will find their way out of the drain holes and
into the surrounding soil.
