Eucalypts of South Australia

Book excerpt: The diversity of eucalypt species explains why they dominate almost every environment in South Australia. And it is their dominance and diversity, from massive timber trees to dwarf, highly ornamental shrubs that has captured the interest of more people than any other single group of native plants. South Australia has 95 native eucalypts, including 20 never before illustrated in colour. The book enables identification of all species, gives clear maps and descriptions on where to find them and provides valuable advice on how to grow them and their potential uses. Eucalypts of South Australia has been designed and written for anyone interested in growing native trees. It is an invaluable companion to naturalists, farmers, gardeners bushwalkers and all those with an interest in this iconic species.
