Eucalyptus globulus


Eucalyptus globulus Eucalyptus/ Blue gum

Eucalipto
This evergreen tree, native to Australasia, can grow to a height of 55metres. It flowers in November and December and is known to explode during a fire, due the the high gum residue. I had read many years ago that Eucalyptus trees were planted along roads in Spain and France to shelter marching soldiers from the heat of the sun.
