Season 4: Common Herbs- Eucalyptus: Smells Too Good To Be True

Eucalyptus is one of the most marketable plants in the myrtle family, and for good reason.  It smells amazing, and even as a dried plant lasts a long time.  But did you know there are at least 660 species of Eucalyptus?  Only a handful of which you've probably even heard of?  Join us on today's episode of PlantStories where we discuss Eucalyptus and it's many forms!

Eucalyptus is one of the oldest plants around.  It's even thought to have been on one of Earth's original supercontinents!  It's primed for survival in tough environments, and that probably why it's perfect as part of Australia's wildlife.  It's uses range from timber, to medicine, to floral arrangements, and it comes in a pretty interesting range of colors for an evergreen plant.  There's lots to talk about when it come to Eucalyptus, so I hope you'll join us for today's episode!
