morrisbys gum

This small tree can be identified at any time of the year though mature trees (with capsules) are required to confirm the identity of this species. Eucalyptus morrisbyi can hybridise with white gum (Eucalyptus viminalis). Peak flowering occurs from February to May.
Eucalyptus morrisbyi occurs in coastal, dry sclerophyll woodland on gentle to hilly slopes with poor drainage. It tends to be restricted to gullies that offer some relief in this drought prone, low rainfall area. It is associated with poor soils, with the Calverts Hill subpopulation and associated remnant stands occurring on recent sands overlying dolerite and the Risdon subpopulation on Permian mudstone.
