If all our trees were native, then you would not see autumn leaves. Australia's native trees are evergreen; non-deciduous. If it were not for introduced species like this we might not even know that winter is on its way!I did find out that we do indeed have one deciduous native tree; the fugus, a deciduous beech, found only in Tasmania.
Throughout Adelaide's suburbs you do see displays of "autumn colour" as we have many introduced species in private yards and along some streets.
