10 Trees

When I got off the plane in Sydney, I could confidently rhyme off about 70 of Ontario's roughly 80 native species, plus a handful of exotic specimens. Little did I realize that Australia has over 600 species of Eucalyptus alone, and more than 5 times more ecosystems! Not knowing where to start was incredibly daunting. I've tried to include a wide variety here to help clear up any confusion, and give you a place to start.
