Roundleaf Gum (Eucalyptus deanei)
Description
Eucalyptus saligna grows as a straight and tall forest tree, growing to heights of 30 to 55 (or rarely 65) m (100-210 ft) tall with a dbh of 2 or even 2.5 m (7-10 ft). The trunk has smooth pale grey or white bark with a long (1 to 4 m high) 'skirt' of rough brownish bark at the base. The dark green leaves are arranged alternately along the stems and are 10-17 cm (4-6.5 in) long by 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 in) wide. The white flowers appear from December to February, and are arranged in groups of seven to eleven in umbellasters.
