Eucalyptus trees typically have a versatile root system that includes both deep taproots and widespread lateral roots. The deep taproot allows them to access water from deeper soil layers, while the lateral roots help stabilize the tree and absorb moisture and nutrients from a broader area. This adaptability enables eucalyptus trees to thrive in various soil types and climatic conditions. Additionally, their root systems can sometimes outcompete native plants for resources, contributing to their dominance in certain ecosystems.
