A graceful spreading growth habit and beautiful, multi-coloured bark are key features of the widespread and adaptable River Red Gum. The bark is smooth, white, grey or cream with patches of yellow-green, grey-green or pinkish-grey, and occasionally rough black bark accumulates at the base. The foliage is blue-green at maturity, and masses of white flowers appear from mid-winter to late summer, followed by ovoid woody fruit. River Red Gum trees are fast-growing, an excellent source of firewood, and its flowers are an attractant of bees and birds.
