Are Eucalyptus trees good for the environment?

trees as a whole is good for the environment

I guess it would depend what area you are in.

They are invasive and if an area is in a drought they probably don't help much because they do demand alot of water. I think koala bears may be the only ones who truly like them.

All I know is that all trees bring essential benefits to us. In my city, some old folks believe that it can treat some illnesses.

Trees give you oxygen that you need.

i think they should be helpful, like almost any tree.

I would think it would depend on the area, since all areas are not alike. Is there a local agriculture department to consult about this?

I guess it depends on the area and on the type of eucalypt. The Australian outback has very little water but many eucalypts seem to survive there.

Eucalyptus trees doe grow fast compared to other trees. They provide good timber at same time they are known for their high-water consumption. This could negatively impact the local water bodies; in case the water is scarce in the area. It can also impact the soil quality as well. In areas where water is not easily available, they might not be the best choice to start with and they could make the land unsuitable even for agriculture or agriculture-based farming. A better and balance method would be to plant a mix of native and non-native trees that can provide similar benefits, without impacting the environment. The local agricultural office should be able to give more information on this and they could suggest based on the soil quality as well.
