River Red Gum

The River Red Gum is an absolute giant of the Australian landscape, growing well past 3 meters and easily reaching majestic heights of 20 to 45 meters with a colossal trunk and wide canopy. It features smooth bark mottled with white, grey, and red tones, and is famous for its extreme longevity and ability to withstand both severe drought and extended seasonal flooding. Given its immense scale, it is strictly suited as a magnificent shade tree or wildlife habitat haven for large acreage and riverbanks.
