eucalyptus trees
Australian aromatic flora
Eucalyptus trees are tall, fast-growing evergreens native to Australia, recognizable by their aromatic leaves and peeling bark.
The leaves produce a pungent oil used in medicines, cleaning products, and as a decongestant.
Koalas feed almost exclusively on eucalyptus foliage.
The trees thrive in warm climates and have been widely planted elsewhere, though their flammability makes them controversial in fire-prone regions like California.
