Red gum tree





Red gum tree, Blue gum, Gray gum
Eucalyptus tereticornis

Medium-size tree, with bark that peels in thin layers. The leaves are to 25 cm long, and sickle-shaped. Flowers are small and white. Similar to the much more common A native to Australia, it is sometimes planted in parks in Manila and Baguio, and as a reforestation species in the Philippines, but is not common.
