Eucalyptus Tereticornis (Forest Red Gum) is a tall, stately Australian native tree recognised for its smooth, mottled bark that sheds in patches of white, grey, and blue. Its long, lance-shaped green leaves provide a dense canopy, while clusters of small white flowers appear mainly in summer (December to February), attracting birds, bees, and other pollinators.
This iconic eucalyptus is valued for its durability, adaptability, and role in providing habitat and shade. It is widely used in large landscapes, windbreaks, and ecological restoration projects, thriving in a variety of soils and climates.
