Eucalypts of South Australia

 

The diversity of eucalypt species is the reason they dominant almost every environment in South Australia. The dominance and diversity of this group of plants, from massive timber trees to dwarf highly ornamental shrubs, has captured the interest of more people than any other single group of native plants.

South Australia has 95 different native eucalypts, including 20 never before illustrated in colour. All are fully described and illustrated in this book. The book allows the identification of all species, gives clear maps and descriptions of where to find them in the bush and gives useful advice on how to grow each species and what uses each can have.

The Eucalypts of South Australia has been designed and written for anybody interested in identifying and growing native trees, not just those familiar with the botanical language. The book will be a valuable companion to all South Australian naturalists, gardeners, farmers, pastoralists, botanists, foresters, students, bush walkers and growers of native trees.
