The most prevalent kind of tree in the government-owned portion of the island are of the genus Eucalyptus. From my amateur observations I have determined that they probably belong to the species Eucalyptus Grandis. All Eucalypts are native to Australia and some surrounding islands. They were introduced to California with the hope of using them for lumber, but proved useful only for pulpwood. However, their extremely fast growth in California's chaparral climate makes them popular for use as shade, firewood, or ornamental trees. The trees found on the island were probably introduced there by early ranchers for shade and/or firewood. Besides Eucalyptus, oaks are recently making a comeback because of the fairly recent extermination of feral hogs on the island.
