eucalyptus groves

Australian tree stands

Eucalyptus groves are stands of eucalyptus trees, typically planted rather than naturally occurring outside Australia.

In California and other Mediterranean climates, these groves were often established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for timber or windbreaks: The hiking trail winds through fragrant eucalyptus groves.

Their distinctive aromatic oil and peeling bark create a characteristic atmosphere.
