Eucalyptus myriadena
Also called Blackbutt
Eucalyptus myriadena, the small-fruited gum or blackbutt, is a eucalypt that grows as a multi-stemmed mallee or a small tree of 3 to 12 m, native to the wheatbelt and goldfields of Western Australia. It is a drought-tolerant outdoor tree best grown in full sun in well-drained soil.
Eucalyptus myriadena, also known as blackbutt or small-fruited gum, is a species of mallee or tree that is native to Western Australia. It has rough, coarse flaky bark on part of the trunk, smooth bark above, linear to narrow lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of between nine and thirteen, white flowers and narrow cylindrical to barrel-shaped fruit. It is widely distributed in the wheatbelt and goldfield areas of the state.
The tree is available commercially in sapling or seed form. The species is drought tolerant and can cope with saline soils. It is also planted as an oil mallee to harvest to obtain Eucalyptus oil.
This eucalypt is found on plains and low rises and around clay flats and salt lakes and swamps in the Mid West, Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia where it grows in gravelly sandy-clay-loam soils. It has a scattered distribution from Coorow in the north west to Ravensthorpe in the south extending to Coolgardie in the east.
