Eucalyptus fasciculosa

Eucalyptus fasciculosa, commonly known as the pink gum, is a single-stemmed tree in the family Myrtaceae typically reaching 10–15 m in height with a spreading crown up to about 12 m wide. The bark is smooth, off-white to slaty blue, shed in flakes, and is sometimes rough and flaky towards the base. Adult leaves are arranged alternately and are thick, with the same glossy green to blue-green colour on both sides; they measure 80–130 mm long and 13–35 mm wide. Flower buds occur in clusters of seven at the stem tips and open to white flowers, followed by conical to barrel-shaped woody capsules containing grey to red-brown seeds. The species is endemic to southern Australia, occurring chiefly in south-eastern South Australia across the Mount Lofty Ranges, Barossa Valley and Kangaroo Island, with populations extending into far south-western Victoria.
