Eucalyptus caliginosa
Also called Broadleaf Stringybark, Broad Leaved Stringybark
Eucalyptus caliginosa is a tall, stringy-barked eucalypt native to eastern Australia, typically reaching 25 to 35 m in the wild. It is a large tree best suited to open ground in warm temperate or subtropical climates, with sun and well-drained soil being the keys to growing it.
Eucalyptus caliginosa, commonly known as broad-leaved stringybark or New England stringybark, is a tree that is endemic to eastern Australia. It has stringy bark, lance-shaped or curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven or nine, white flowers and more or less hemispherical fruit. It is common on the Northern Tablelands and North West Slopes of New South Wales and adjacent areas of Queensland.
The New England stringybark is commonly found on ridges and hilltops of south-eastern Queensland, the Northern Tablelands and North West Slopes of New South Wales. It grows in dry sclerophyll or open woodland or grassy forest communities and grows in loamy moderately fertile soils. It is found north of around Yarrowitch and the Liverpool Range extending to Stanthorpe in southern Queensland.
