A most unusual Euc (Pink)..I.D please

Post by bodhidharma »

This Salmon coloured Eucalyptus lives in my back yard. The previous owners were avid euc collectors and i have many different ones in my back yard. The Natives of all sorts that adorn my property are stunning, A Tuart of all things, (WA) but this one takes the cake and i have no idea what it is. The Salmon coloured bark is glorious and the creased effect even more so. I need a Euc expert to i.d this please.

P.S.. i know it is not a Salmon gum,no flowers and very different bark.

P.P.S..Our local Bulldozer operator who has lived here forever and clears for new roads and firebreaks etc also a known Euc expert commented that he has never seen one like this before. :o

I agree. Easiest way to tell will be checking if the leaves are opposite each other on the branch rather than alternating.
