Leaves have a leathery feel. They are dark green and shiny on the top while the underside is a paler gray-green with fine hairs. In autumn, leaf color varies between red, yellow, and brown. Like other oak trees, the overcup oak has clustered terminal buds. [6] The bark is light to dark gray in color with irregular bark plates. Its bark plates ...
Eucalyptus saligna is a tree with a straight trunk that typically grows to a height of 30–55 m (98–180 ft), rarely to 65 m (213 ft), a dbh of 2–2.5 m (6 ft 7 in – 8 ft 2 in), and forms a lignotuber. The trunk has smooth pale grey or white bark with 1–4 m (3 ft 3 in – 13 ft 1 in) of rough brownish bark at the base.
The best wood has a straight, circular stem without a spiral grain or fluting, and small, evenly spaced branches. The chances of achieving these are maximised by planting good-quality seed in the best possible growing environment. [38] Tree breeding programmes, to ensure the best seed, are hampered by the trees' long life-cycles.
All summer long, the leaves are bright green, happily doing their photosynthetic thing.
The bark, light gray when young, changes to a coarse gray outer bark with lengthwise furrowing, lenticels prominent. [5] The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, 10–30 centimetres (4–12 inches) long, pinnate with five to seven (rarely nine) leaflets, the leaflets 5–12 cm (2– 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long and 3–5 cm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 –2 in ...
Eucalyptus bridgesiana, commonly known as apple box, apple, apple gum [3] or but-but, [4] is a medium to large sized tree.It has rough, fibrous bark on the trunk and larger branches, smooth grey bark above, glossy green, lance-shaped adult leaves, flower buds in groups of seven, white flowers and hemispherical fruit.
Older trees tend to be pollarded, with boles (the main trunk) 2–3 m (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 –10 ft) long. These live longer and become more stout than unpollarded trees. The crown is spreading and unevenly domed, and trees often have massive lower branches. The bark is greyish-brown and closely grooved, with vertical plates.
