Shallow roots

The strong winds have wrecked havoc with fences and trees. The eucalyptus at the bottom of our garden - all - 70 feet of it came down. Do eucalyptus have particularly shallow roots because of the habitat they live in? When I was in Brazil a couple of years ago I was amazed to see whole swathes of the South Atlantic Rain Forest had been felled and replanted with eucalyptus for commercial purposes.

We need deep roots. They feed us and give a sense of security and purpose. How is your resolve in the face of lifes storms?
