Tasmanian Blue Gum

The Tasmanian Blue Gum is an iconic, colossal forest tree that grows well past 3 meters, regularly soaring to heights of 20 to 40 meters or more. It features smooth, ribbons-peeling bark in shades of cream and blue-grey, paired with heavily aromatic foliage that is the primary food source for koalas. It produces large, nectar-rich white blossoms in spring, and because of its massive canopy and vigorous root system, it is strictly suited for large rural properties, timber production, and expansive windbreaks.
