Description

A tall, evergreen tree that can reach up to 60 meters in height, Eucalyptus globulus is known for its smooth, pale blue-gray bark that peels away in long strips. Its lance-shaped leaves are aromatic, releasing a strong, menthol-like scent when crushed. The tree produces clusters of white to blue-tinged flowers in summer, followed by woody, cup-shaped fruit. Commonly planted for its fast growth and medicinal properties, it thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in coastal areas or along riverbanks in its native range.
