The dangers of eucalyptus

Thank author of this post/commentOne thing to watch out for if you plan to grow anything is eucalyptus trees. I have heard they absorb multiple times more water than any other tree and they pretty much suck the life out of all the soil around them and render it fairly useless.

Eucalyptus seems pretty common across Uruguay (well from my experience anyway, I have seen them in every region I have been to) and they are only bound to get more popular as forestry is promoted as a profitable industry and these trees grow very fast and are suitable for paper mills.

A friend of mine in Minas has had fruit trees on their family property for centuries. The orange and lemons trees there have been around for decades and have always produced fruit. Eucalyptus trees were planted nearby and the trees have since died and all the soil around them ruined.

Many will argue against this point fiercely as they depend on these trees for their living, but it is an industry that could seriously affect you if you plan to cultivate anything...except for maybe olive trees, I have heard they would grow out of rock!

For the nonspellers: Urugauy and Monte Video is Montevideo (monte-vid-day-o), real estate agents are "Inmobiliaria", and of course Uruguay is not spelled Uraguay. 96840177
