Eucalyptus baueriana
Also called Round Leaf Box, Fuzzy Box, Werribee Blue Box
Blue box (Eucalyptus baueriana) is a native Australian tree of woodland in south-eastern Australia, growing up to about 20 m, sometimes as a small tree or mallee. Grow it as a full-sun, free-draining outdoor tree in a mild climate.
Eucalyptus baueriana, commonly known as blue box or round-leaved box, is a tree that is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It has rough, fibrous or flaky bark on the trunk and branches, egg-shaped adult leaves, oval to diamond-shaped flower buds arranged in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit.
Blue box grows in woodland in near-coastal areas of New South Wales south from Putty to areas near Melbourne in Victoria although Chippendale in Flora of Australia reports the species occurring near Stanthorpe in Queensland and in the Glen Innes - Armidale area.
