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.
