What is eucalyptus?
Eucalyptus is a genus of plants containing more than 500 unique species, primarily originally from Australia and Tasmania. Clearly aromatic trees have adapted to many extremes of the Australian environment and come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the region in which they grow. Eucalyptus was also widely imported into other parts of the world, where it represents a significant threat to native species because it grows quickly and often expands as in Australia. And a specific expanded tree, eucalyptus globulus , Globe Eucalyptus, is known as "blue rubber". The trees were used for centuries for wood, tinder and medical purposes, and settlers were also used in the region. In Australia, Eucalyptus is an iconic part of national culture and appears in Australian art and films as a well -known part of the landscape.
Trees have a useful aromatic Oil that can be extruded by distillation of steam. Oil is used in perfumes and also in complementary alternative medicine. It turned out that oil mAntiseptic, antibacterial, against inflammatory, expectorant and deodorant properties and is a common additive in products such as muscle friction and deodoral compounds. When using products containing eucalyptus oil, caution should be taken as it is flammable and toxic in consumption.
Like many other members of the Myrtle family, Eucalyptus is growing very fast. It can shoot at large heights in areas with sufficient water or spread to dense shrubs. Trees prefer moisture and often clump around waterways and springs. Many species are also designed to spread fires that are common in many parts of Australia. SeedPods break out in fire and grow rapidly in an area deprived of other plants and Wildfire, quickly establishing a large tract of new Eucalyptus trees.
eucalyptus from Australia can be considered sustainable wood because the trees come from the region andgrow rapidly. However, eucalyptus harvested in other regions does not have to be sustainable because it increases at the high cost of native plant and tree species and can destroy valuable habitats. In Australia, eucalyptus plays an essential environmental role that provides food and habitat to animals such as Koalas, along with helping to maintain valuable topsoil. Eucalyptus can be found in various wooden products balanced from Australia, including floors, paper and finished furniture.
