Eucalyptus botryoides, commonly known as Woollybutt or Southern Mahogany, is a small to tall tree native to south eastern Australia. It has rough bark on its trunk and branches and its foliage is narrow and dark green. Creamy white gum blossoms appear in summer and autumn attracting native birds and bees, and age into cup-shaped gum nuts. The hard, durable wood has been used for panelling and flooring, and the wood will burn well in the home fireplace.
