Eucalyptus - River Red Gum

$2.95 ($2.95-$4.90 choose a size)

Iconic Red Gum, growing along inland rivers. Provides habitat and food for a wide variety of keystone species - mammals, bird and insects. Handsome, spreading and extremely long lived tree with smooth cream bark, often with brown, pink and grey strips with a short skirt of persistent bark. It has a widespread distribution along the Murray Darling river system, preferring clay soil and they are crucial in regulating water tables. They thrive when subjected to routine flooding, and suffer when this is removed. Limbs are known to fall without warning so should be planted away from habitation. Hollow bearing so a very important tree for hollow dependent nesting wildlife. Wood is tough and termite resistant.
