Eucalyptus cypellocarpa Mountain gray gum, Monkey gum, Spotted gum |
Description: A variable species that can grow from a small, to very large tree. It thrives in relatively cool climates and has smooth, yellow-gray bark that peels in patches. It is found in the Warrumbungle, Otway and Geriwerd ranges and tablelands of Victoria and New South Wales. I have noted new stem growth to be square and this definitely is a fast growing species.
Climate Data: Favors cool to warm, humid to sub-humid climate. Temperature range; hot 88 degrees F, cold 19 degrees F. Annual rainfall 700-1300 mm (28-52"), Elevation 1200 m.
