Nah, eucalyptus trees are a pain. They suppress plants under them with a heavy and constant leaf drop behavior and their leaves take a long time to decay. They alter the soil chemistry to further achieve this goal. You never see anything growing under them in the wild, only if man is manually collecting the leaves e.g. by mowing. They self amputate limbs abruptly which is a hazard and are ofc quite flammable. Take it from an Australian, you don't want them. Get rid of them.
- marymkearney 4y agoThese are all practical, common-sense arguments for yea or nay on a particular species. They seem like exactly the kinds of factors to consider - not whether this exact plant existed in this exact microclimate, at one pre-European moment in botanical time. I've got no opinion on eucalyptus one way or the other. But if I was developing one, these are the points I'd take into account.
