What is a Eucalyptus Tree and How Does It Work?

The eucalyptus tree is a common tree in South Africa. It is a deciduous tree that grows to be around 20 meters high with smooth, dark green leaves. The leaves are layered, and the bark is rough and greyish-brown.

Eucalyptus trees have been used for centuries in many ways. They were originally planted to ward off insects, but it has since been discovered that they actually emit an odour that deters insects from infesting the plant’s leaves. This was discovered by accident when some trees were removed from their original habitat and placed in a greenhouse where they flourished with no pests.

This type of tree can also be used as an ornamental plant because of its beautiful flowers that come in various colours such as red, yellow, orange or blue.
