Eucalyptus orgadophila [Eucalyptus = well covered, referring to the cap on the bud; orgadophila = many flowers]
Family SYMPHOMYRTUS
The small branches are clean of bark on this spreading tree, which supplies food for koalas, and is a valuable source of pollen and nectar for bees. The timber is strong and heavy but of only fair durability, and makes good fuel.
In the Mountain Coolibah area look for trees with hollows used by birds, bees and animals.
