Tallerack is an older name for Eucalyptus tetragona, a eucalyptus from Western Australia's wheatbelt and goldfields. The Australian Plant Census now lists it as a synonym of Eucalyptus pleurocarpa, so it may be treated as that species today.

Light
Full sun
Water
Water deeply but infrequently once established, and let the soil dry between waterings.
Soil
Well-drained soil; tolerates poor, sandy or gravelly ground.
Temperature
Hardy in warm to cool temperate climates; tolerates light frost, and protect young plants below about -5 °C.
How easy

About

Eucalyptus × tetragona and Eucalyptus tetragona are listed as synonyms of Eucalyptus pleurocarpa at the Australian Plant Census.

Entries in earlier texts The Western Australian Flora, Eucalypts of the Western Australian goldfields (and the adjacent wheatbelt) and Flora of Australia have the earlier assumption of the separate non-hybrid form.
