Diversity, Reproduction, and Potential for Invasiveness of Eucalyptus in California

Abstract In the 150 years since their introduction to the state, species in the genus Eucalyptus have become the most common non-native trees in California. A clearer understanding of the ability of different species to reproduce in the state is important for how we monitor the ecological impact of these abundant non-native trees and for predicting possible future invasions. Here we present current data on the diversity of Eucalyptus in California, which species are spontaneously reproducing, or have the potential to do so, where they can be found, how they can be identified, and our analysis, based on herbarium and field observations, of the potential ecological impacts of various species in the locations where they have been introduced. We also present a new dichotomous identification key, and botanical drawings of all naturalized species. We discuss the degree to which factors such as life history traits, commonness of planting, and native range influence reproductive behaviors of different species.
