Description

Tuart Tree - Eucalyptus gomphocephala

While walking around Perry lakes I came across a small Eucalyptus gomphocephala in flower.
Majority of the flowers on this Eucalyptus tree are usually to high to photograph as most trees are over 5 Metre tall and the flower appear on the top tip of the leaves.
This small tree was just ideal for photographs of the beautiful flowers

“Eucalyptus gomphocephala, known as tuart,[3] is a species of tree, one of the six forest giants of Southwest Australia. Tuart forest was common on the Swan coastal plain, until the valuable trees were felled for export and displaced by the urban development around Perth, Western Australia. The wood is dense, hard, water resistant and resists splintering, and found many uses when it was available. Remnants of tuart forest occur in state reserves and parks “ wikipedia
