Malcolm French began his interest in eucalypts in the 1980s, when he grew eucalypts for his family farm at Rylstone on the Central Tablelands of NSW. As the plants grew so did his interest in them, and it wasn’t long before he began growing more eucalypts and his desire to learn more about them became quite a passion.

​

Malcolm has lived in Perth since 1993, when he was offered a management position in an agribusiness enterprise in WA. His decision to move to WA was made easy due to the opportunity to research the vast diversity of eucalypts in the State. Since then, he has travelled extensively throughout WA as part of his work profession and for eucalypt research, and it wasn’t long before he published his first book on Western Australia eucalypts, The Special Eucalypts of Perth and the South-west (1997).
