Eucalyptus yarraensis
Yarra gum is a tall eucalyptus tree native to Victoria, Australia, growing 15 to 20 m with rough bark on the trunk and smooth white upper bark. It is critically endangered in the wild, so it is grown mainly in gardens and restoration plantings rather than sourced from wild stands.
Eucalyptus yarraensis, commonly known as Yarra gum, is a tree species that is endemic to Victoria, Australia. It has rough bark on the trunk and larger branches, lance-shaped to elliptical or egg-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and conical fruit. In 2021 the Victorian Government listed it as critically endangered under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act.
Yarra gum grows in valleys and nearby slopes in open woodland, now mostly cleared for agricultural use. It is found between Melbourne, Daylesford and Ararat.
