Eucalyptus Populnea - Poplar Box - Bimble Box

The Eucalyptus Populnea is a very well known, very hardy tree that can reach up to 20m when mature. It forms a round, wide spreading canopy with a grey, fibrous bark that forms a box type texture. The leaves range in colour from green to a bluish grey with a lance shape. White to cream coloured flowers appear from October to December and attract a very diverse array of pollinators. The poplar box is a stand out key species that is vital for both the ecology and culturally.
