Botany

Native to Australia (Tasmania), Eucalyptus is a very slender evergreen tree that can reach up to ninety meters in height. Its leaves are oval and bluish when young, becoming narrow and yellowish when mature. Currently, the European countries where it is most widely cultivated (and where its essential oil is distilled) are Spain and Portugal.
