I love eucalyptus trees because
of their lush tall and green look
of its pleasant smell
its leaves are vital to a koala's diet
it is an iconic Australian tree
it symbolises heaven and
it is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Australia
of its silvery-green leaves
of its clusters of tiny white flowers
they can be used to make didgeridoos
it is a symbol of strength and protection
it is considered as a natural purifier of water
its bark can be either smooth, fibrous, hard or stringy.
the spiritual meaning is well-concealed
it is clean, crisp and uplifting
it attracts nectar-loving birds and bees
the most popular one is the blue gum
they help to clear out the sinuses and respiratory tract
they are believed to attract wealth
it is a holy tree for the Aboriginals, the Indigenous people of Australia
