Eucalyptus muelleriana

Yellow stringybark is a medium to tall Australian eucalyptus tree, native to wet coastal forests of southeastern Australia, valued for its timber. It grows best in deep sandy or clay loam soil with reliable rainfall of at least 800 mm a year.
Eucalyptus muelleriana, commonly known as yellow stringybark, is a species of medium-sized to tall tree that is endemic to southeastern Australia. It has rough, stringy bark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between seven and eleven, white flowers and cup-shaped to shortened spherical fruit.
Yellow stringbark grows in wet forests on coastal plains, ranges and escarpments from Wollongong in New South Wales to Wilsons Promontory in Victoria. It has also been planted in New Zealand.
Yellow stringbark provides a valuable timber which is strong, durable, straight-grained and has been widely used, particularly in Victoria for posts and piles. When planted, it prefers sandy loam / clay loam soils and at least 800 mm of annual rainfall.
