Eucalyptus trees are not native to this area, but they're everywhere. They're very fragrant. They drop large branches and big strips of bark in storms.
"Not native" is technically correct, but "everywhere" is the more relevant description. My favorite place when I was growing up was under a grove of blue gums on the rise in front of my house. Now when I see pictures of Australia, it makes me homesick (and I've never even BEEN to Australia!).
