The Gum Tree, also known as Eucalyptus, is a type of tree native to Australia. It is characterized by its tall stature, aromatic leaves, and distinctive bark, which can be smooth or rough depending on the species. Gum trees are known for their ability to thrive in various environments and are an important part of the Australian ecosystem. Gum trees produce a sticky substance called gum, which can be found in their bark and leaves. This gum is often used in traditional medicine and can also serve as a food source for certain wildlife, including koalas. The trees are also valued for their timber, which is used in construction and furniture making.
