Eucalyptus ochrophloia
Yapunyah is a eucalypt tree native to inland New South Wales and south-west Queensland, typically growing to 15 m on heavy, seasonally flooded clay soils. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant tree best suited to a large, open site with good drainage and plenty of sun.
Eucalyptus ochrophloia, commonly known as the yapunyah, is a species of eucalypt native to inland New South Wales and Queensland in eastern Australia.
The tree has a scattered distribution through north western New South Wales and south western Queensland. In New South Wales it is found east of White Cliffs and north of the Paroo River where it is occurs frequently but in scattered populations, as part of the overstorey in grassy woodland communities growing along broad flat seasonal rivers and creeks in heavy calcareous soils. Associated species in the overstorey include; Eucalyptus largiflorens and Eucalyptus coolabah while the understorey species include; Acacia stenophylla and Eremophila bignoniflora along with Muehlenbeckia florulenta.
The tree is used by apiarists for honey production as the tree produces nectar in winter when few other plants are in flower. It is also an important food source for native birds particularly the Pied Honeyeater. The wood from the tree is suitable for fuel, fencing and as a heavy construction timber. It is a good shade tree for stock and the leaves can be used as fodder.
