Silent Saturday - Eucalyptus forest in Olinda - Makawao Maui HI 96768
Eucalyptus trees grow like weeds on Maui. They were imported here and have done very well.
This stand of trees is growing in Olinda, which is located just above the little town of Makawao.
What a beautiful spot! There are more lots for sale here in Olinda, call for more details.

Georgina:
Those trees are gorgeous. You live in such a beautiful place. Hope your weekend is going well
Eucalyptus are my absolute favorite trees. We used to have a great big blue gum in our front yard as a kid. We'd collect the seed pods and pretent fairies would dance around htem at night. I still think that fairies dance around eucalyptus trees!
So very pretty. I absolutely love that first shot! It would make an awesome wall hanging!
Georgina, thanks so much for sharing your Maui photos with us on Silent Saturday...I agree with Brenda and I LOVE the first one! :)

That is one tree that DOESN'T grow here in Florida. I think about 80% of our plants are the same though!
Georgina,
Beautiful. Love the scent they give off. We used to have several. :)

Barbara,
We had many eucalyptus, but they tend to break up in the high winds. Plus they are extremely fast growing. :)

As usual, great pics! Hope all is well -- Happy Valentine's Day, Georgina!
That last one looks like a painting, very nice.
Me too I love that first shot! I thought FEB 13 2011 eucalyptus trees had different leaves....maybe I am just not seeing the leaves right.
Regarless, these tree are beautiful. Trees are my favorite thing in nature.
What a fascinating story! It looks like the perfect spot to inspire a writer or an artist! Koala bears would be happy too!
