Apparently grows very tall, I saw adults a hundred feet tall with tiny silver leaves growing on small branches sporadically on the trunk.
“Calijito” in quechua is what a local told me.

A plant ID app said it was eucalyptus, but it didn’t look like any of the pictures the app gave me for eucalyptus.
But if that’s the first thing you came up with, I’m tempted to reassess.
Thanks!
Eucalyptus look quite different when young, you may have been only seeing pictures of mature specimens.
from looking at google pics of Eucalyptus globosa, young leaves yea it looks like it. plus in the background there are some taller trees that have leaves suspiciously like eucalyptus, although it could be the angle of the leaves.
Thanks, I’m going to reexamine everything, you could easily be right.
Peruvian here, not saying the id is correct, but commenting that Eucalyptus were brought to South America from Australia over a century ago and now are so common that many don’t realize is an imported species
the leaves suspiciously look like eucalytpus in the background if you zoom up, but could be the angle of the elaves.
