Eucalyptus delegatensis subsp. tasmaniensis
Also known as: Information to be completed
A large, majestic, evergreen tree with a straight clean trunk and bark in shades of brown, blue and white. It is shed in strips annually on the main branches, while being persistent on the trunk. The tree has an open, airy canopy with dull green, slightly glaucous, lance-shaped leaves with conspicuous veins. Mature specimens are capable of reaching 60m (200ft) high, making them suitable only for larger gardens or parkland. This subspecies differs from the species in having seedlings with warty, rather than smooth stems and round adult leaves with a prominent drip tip, rather than lance-shaped. White flowers are produced in clusters of up to fifteen in mid-summer, which are very attractive to bees. All parts are aromatic.
