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.

What is the root system of the Eucalyptus?
The majority of eucalyptus trees' roots - up to 90% - extend horizontally in the top 30cm of ground. However, eucalyptus trees also have an incredible taproot which, in the right soil conditions, can extend vertically downwards about 20 metres, or 60 feet. This taproot will anchor the tallest tree securely, but not all soil conditions are conducive to growing such a taproot. Clay, for example, will prevent the taproot growing to the minimum 2 metres it requires to anchor properly.
