The Eucalyptus was introduced in Galicia by Father Salvado in the mid-nineties. There is a lot is Eucalytpus Forests along the Camino in Galicia.
Mum read an story from the internet saying that there are both good and not so good things about bringing plants from another country.
The trees are fully grown in 12-20 years as Galicia has a lot of rain.
With any introduced species from another country comes at a risk to Spain’s native plants.
The trees grow very straight. I picked some leaves to smell them. I gave mum some to hang off the back of the pram.
Penny and Grace walked through the forest to. Mum took lots of photos.
