Report an issue with this species
Eucalyptus is a diverse genus of over 700 species, mostly trees, native to Australia and some northern islands. They are characterized by various bark types and leaves with oil glands. Many species are fast-growing and are known for their high flammability, which can pose a fire risk in urban settings.
