We kept seeing lots of trees (obviously planted) and finally we asked what they were and why they were 'everywhere'.

The answer to that is around 1988 or so, all the sugar cane fields were cut down and sold off. Believe me when Molly was there in the 1980's that there were sugar cane fields everywhere. They needed something that would take the place of those sugar canes and came up with Eucalyptus trees and now there are fields and fields of Eucalyptus trees.
