15 Australian Native TreesNative Australian trees come in variety of shapes, sizes and colours. But what they do have in common is their ability to adapt to their surroundings and easily grow in different environments. Over the years, the native trees have adapted to the conditions of the Australian local environment and that is the reason they thrive better than a plant introduced from another region. Most of the native Australian trees are a treat for the eyes, and an integral part of the native landscape. These trees not only provide food and habitat for local native animals but also many environmental benefits such as preventing soil erosion, combating salinity, saving endangered animals and providing clean fresh air.
