Eucalyptus

[Micah2oo4]

Is there and herb called this that is not a tree?
I have a wild eucalyptus growing ( atleast it looks like eucalyptus but it don't look like a tree. Looks like Mint but is just long limbs, It matched up with a Google image search for Eucalyptus but then theres other images of tall trees and I am curious if there is an herb that goes by the name of Eucalyptus that is not a tree. Or if the Tree just looks like a weed when it is younger?

And is it odd to find some wild eucalyptus in Georgia? I also found some wild Parsley growing here as well. At least I think the 2 of them are wild, I didn't plant any, wanted to but couldn't find either of the 2's seeds.

How far are you from the Kangaroo Conservation Center?

Wouldn't be at all suprised to here it had escaped the park; red eucalyptus is an invasive tree around the Bay area in California, and a real fire hazard too...in fact this whole list is considered invasive in the U.S....

As you can see it is a big family, and lots of different species, and I'm not familiar with many of them, but this is not a plant to mess around with outside...

It doesn't look like a tree, looks like a weed, with spiral step's of leaves going up the stem. It might not even be eucalyptus but it does some what look like the "Silver Dollar" Eucalyptus but not as silver, more light-greener.

An image would help a lot, Micah...
