Overview
Eucalypts are today widely grown throughout the world, despite the fact that they are predominantly an Australian native plant (there are only a small number of species which occur naturally outside of Australia). In many countries Eucalypts are used extensively as a forest tree, for land rehabilitation or even as an ornamental plant.
There are more than five hundred different species of Eucalypts, varying from relatively low shrubby plants to massive tall trees. You can learn all about them with this Eucalypts course from Warnborough College.
