I am always hopeful that I can get anything to grow here. I look at it as, Won't know until I try. They said that bananas won't grow in the desert, but with some modifications to environment, prayers and some luck, they seem to be able to grow here. Next we will see if they fruit. I noticed that Gadget has some in fruit down in Tempe, so I am encouraged.
Yes, both the Rainbow Eucalyptus and Yellow mangosteen will be kept indoors - at least at night. If the temps are warm enough, they will get some outside time weather permitting.

If this Rainbow gets to be a size where it has to be outside, I might make some cuttings and root them, then sell the tree.
