I need advice on composting Eucalyptus sawdust. Any body tried it?

last year

I have a big pile of sawdust made from Eucalyptus wood, I am thinking about using it as compost carbon source, but I do not know if that would be ok, because many online sources warn against using Eucalyptus, while it is mostly carbon and the oil content is not that high. Let know how you did it and if it worked. Thanks.

I need feedback from people who tried it on plants or trees and if it is as good as any other type of wood as a source of carboncarboncarbon
