The message
from "Duncan Heenan" contains these words:

Oops! I missed the 'native' criterion. Reading too fast!


I wouldn't worry - there's no concensus as to what constitutes 'native'
in any case. Some like it to mean trees which colonised Britain after
various ice ages before someone had the sense to cast adrift from
France, others prefer to allow other species whic may have been
introduced by early settlers, or by birds.

All would concur that Eucalyptus doesn't count, though.
