Join Andrew Thornhill on a tour of Australia’s most dominant plant group as he celebrates the diversity of 124 species of eucalypts growing in Adelaide Botanic Garden and Botanic Park.

Along the way, you’ll discover the specific characteristics that define different eucalypts and explore the incredible evolutionary history of the group.

Andrew has published two papers on eucalypt phylogeny, was interviewed on Sydney’s 2SER, has given talks at UC Berkeley in the US, and written a number of blogs and conversation articles on eucalypt evolution.
