Forest Red Gum

Forest Red Gum (Eucalyptus tereticornis) is a large tree native to the coastal regions of New Guinea and eastern Australia, including New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria. Known for its light-loving nature, this species thrives in moist or wet conditions with soil that can range from sandy to heavy clay. It grows up to 35 meters tall and is valued both for its ornamental qualities and its edible parts, particularly the roots which are sometimes used in traditional cuisine. Medicinal uses have also been documented for this versatile tree.
