Dean Nicolle and Eucalyptus deanei

Dean Nicolle (born 1974), is an Australian botanist, arborist and ecologist.[1] He is widely recognised as the leading authority on the genus Eucalyptus.

Nicolle was born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1974 and developed an interest in Eucalypt trees as a young man.[1] Completing a Bachelor of Science at Adelaide University he then went on to complete his PhD in 2008 on mallee trees at Flinders University.

Shortly afterward Nicolle created the Currency Creek Arboretum, on a 30 hectares (74 acres) site in the Fleurieu region in South Australia. He is currently the director and head of research at the Arboretum and has cultivated over 900 species and subspecies of Eucalypts.[2]
