Gum Tree Eucalyptus is a 20-30 foot tall producer that lives in the savanna. They produce creamy white flowers which attract bee's. It said to be so that bee's who eat the nectar from this plant have sweeter honey. This tree is also used for medical purposes such as to treat infections, colds, the flu, sore throats, skin infections, and many more. Gum Tree Eucalyptus does not tolerate cold weather and that is why it is found in savanna's beacause it is very warm there. Koala Bear's eat the flowers from this tree and it is there primary food source.
Have you ever used eucalyptus bath salt?
BOTH OF THEM PRODUCED LONG ROOTS TO REACH WATER THAT IS SO DEEP INTO THE GROUND BECAUSE IT RARELY RAINS IN A SAVANNA DURING THE WINTER. ALSO, THE TRUNKS STORE WATER SO THEY CAN USE IT DURING THE WINTER.
