camphora
According to a lot of people Camphora is the largest food source for the koala bear. The tree is mainly found on the east coast of Australia.
Because of its graceful heart-shaped and camphor smelling leaves a special appearance. It tolerates light shade but is not resistant to wind. He has been doing well at the nursery for a few years, but when he is on a spot with a lot of wind, he has to be pruned back considerably every spring.
