Have studied this myself and the only conclusion I came to, referring to the "problems" of eucalyptus, was they do suck up the water. The rest of the statement is not substantiated by scientific fact that I know of. Stand to be corrected by that's what my research resulted in.
Lots of rumors and horror stories but little fact behind most of it. Being a water sponge CAN be a damaging side affect.
