Eucalyptus (Burl)
The burl form of eucalyptus is not the traditional protuberence you would expect to see growing from a tree. Instead, the "burl" is formed inside the trunk. The eucalyptus tree (an evergreen) was introduced into California in 1856 and into Hawaii in about 1865 however commercial propogation of this species is generally limited to species from Australia and New Zealand. Despite this, the highest curly figured eucalyptus veneers are currently being grown in and exported from Spain.
