There are many different species to the Genus: Eucalyptus.  Growing regions range from Australia and New Zealand to the Western US to Spain and Portugal.  It is also plantation grown in South America, and can be in other regions as well.  It’s a very fast growing species and in Australia is considered to be one of the tallest trees in the world.

The species develops a wide range of figural types including a mostly plain / mild stripe to a mix of stripe and mottle (as shown in the picture) to a very heavy, almost electric looking figure.  The species can also develop what is called a pommele figure, looking completely different than those mentioned prior.
