Candlebark (Eucalyptus rubida)
Description
The bark is generally smooth and white, with unshaded limbs often turning red or orange in the summer. The trunk of the tree often has a ragged base where the old layers of bark have not fallen away, giving the appearance of a stubby candle, and the tree its name. The bark of the trunk is also often cut with horizontal marks made by a burrowing beetle.
