Eucalyptus globulus

Eucalyptus globulus: characteristics and care

The Eucalyptus globulus, popularly known as eucalyptus, is a tree native to Australia and Tasmania that is a large, vigorous-growing evergreen tree that stands out for its bark that peels off in strips, its bluish aromatic foliage in its juvenile phase and its open and irregular crown in maturity.

Its rapid growth and high biomass production make it a common choice for windbreaks, screens and forest stands, although it requires ample space due to its final size.

It tolerates drought well once established and adapts to a wide variety of soils, provided they have good drainage.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
