Tree trunk directionality

Is it just that I am drawn to trees that have their bark going in a certain direction or do the majority of eucalyptus trees have their bark going from left to right up the tree?
I have found some where the bark grows relatively vertically, but there sure seem to be a lot that don't.
Maybe it's the way the world spins.

I'm curious now & will be looking closer at the bark to see which direction it grows in

Yes Christine, it is amazing how many trees grow that way. Not all, obviously, but a lot.

Whey not search for some Californian or maybe French sites where there are gardeners talking about growing eucalypts, and see if they have photos of their trees?

I just suggested those two places off the top of my head because I think people grow gum trees there.
