Here, they're 'Paperbark Eucalies'. Maybe because they're aromatic. It's true, they don't have exactly that Eucie stink. In the hippie daze, I had community cred because I knew how to pickle the bark pieces in Potassium Nitrate solution, so as incense they would stay burning rather than have to be relit every minute or so.
Pretty little tree, too. Natural Bonsai beauty, with their white bark and gangly growth pattern. Still love 'em, Gum or not.
