Mountain Gum, Broad-Leaved Kindling Bark, Broad-Leaved Ribbon Gum
Fast-growing and stately, Eucalyptus dalrympleana (Mountain Gum) is a large evergreen tree of upright, columnar habit adorned with a straight, smooth, creamy white trunk. Rich with a fresh Eucalyptus scent with hints of cinnamon, the aromatic foliage is ovate, copper-tinged when young, becoming blue-green when juvenile, changing to long, curved, drooping, blue-green when adult. In summer, clusters of white flowers are borne amongst the foliage. Long-lived, this Eucalyptus requires ample growing space and makes a lovely specimen tree.
