Gray Gum (Eucalyptus punctata)
Description
The grey gum grows as a large tree to 35 m (115 ft) high, with bark of various shades of grey, white and orange hues, which sheds in large sheets, giving the trunk a patchy appearance. The glossy dark green adult leaves are falcate (sickle-shaped) or lanceolate and measure 8-15 cm (3-6 in) in length by 1.5-3 cm (0.59-1.18 in) wide. The flowers are white, and are in bloom from December to March.
