Eucalyptus Grove
Napa River Trail, American Canyon, Northern California
Eucalyptus trees are not native to California, but they are very common here. Opinions of them vary, but it is undeniable that the scent of them is heavenly after a fresh rain like we had today.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus
Some eucalyptus species have attracted attention from horticulturists, global development researchers and environmentalists because of desirable traits such as being fast-growing sources of wood, producing oil that can be used for cleaning and as a natural insecticide, or an ability to be used to drain swamps and thereby reduce the risk of malaria. Outside their natural ranges, eucalypts are both lauded for their beneficial economic impact on poor populations and criticized for being "invasive water-suckers", leading to controversy over their total impact.
