There are many mature eucalyptus in the East Bay hills, and their continued presence is controversial. They look nice, but fire spreads quickly in a eucalyptus grove.

Their combustible oils and ribbons of shed bark promote fire, from which they easily recover; fire that in many cases eliminates their competition. This is why they're so dominant in much of Australia, where fire is a regular feature of the landscape. — Please feel free to offer your thoughts on how I might improve my images —
