Description:
Eucalyptus Dalrympleana is a tree combining rapid growth and strong stature. Its port gives a massive appearance supported by a powerful trunk.
Like most eucalyptus trees, its bark exfoliates in patches revealing a white, smooth trunk that turns gray then pink then greenish in autumn.
Its flowering, which can last from spring to autumn, is very fragrant and attracts honey-producing insects.
