ELI5 mode

A eucalyptus tree is a fast-growing, evergreen species from the genus Eucalyptus, native to Australia and known for its distinctive aromatic leaves, peeling bark, and oil-rich foliage that makes it a staple in medicine and industry. Beyond their ecological role in diverse habitats, these trees have been introduced worldwide for timber, erosion control, and even as windbreaks, though they can become invasive and alter local ecosystems in non-native areas.
