Eucalyptus Tree
In general the eucalyptus tree is quite desirable for many reasons it grows quickly, and produces a natural insecticide. These oils can also be used for cleaning, but what the eucalyptus tree is most widely known for at least in our area of the world is for its ability to suck up water. This tree could change the natural environment. The benefits of genetically modifying organisms is that we are able to yield different outcomes from each GM tree. Another major benefit is that some GMO's actually allow farmers to have higher yields of production. Some concerns of planting these trees would be that these GM trees could cause major habitat tranformations for wildlife. In order to minimize these risks there must be some way of regulating them, maybe make them illegal to plant in swamping areas. I believe the benefits do not outweigh the risk.
