Eucalyptus trees
Floridians and Californians enjoy these fragrant trees. We also appreciate them in our neck of the woods. They grow to be about a hundred feet high here.
Some people have come down hard on eucalyptus trees. Apparently they are huge water hogs and frequently take over habitats of other species. But they smell nice if you can smell; I can't. They also provide some welcome shade.
My sister Amy, who moved from Portugal to Belgium within the last 6 months, said she misses them. She said she made tea from the leaves. (We haven't tried that yet.)
Steve and Martine Chambers have a painting hanging in their home that always comes to my mind when I think of eucalyptus trees. Their patchy trunks are featured prominently. Martine's dad, Martin, did a great job capturing a scene in his native Florida.
