Wiki description:

[ edit ] Description Trunk and bark detail The tree can grow to 45 metres tall; it has smooth bark, ranging in colour from white and grey to red-brown, which is shed in long ribbons. [ 2 ] The tree has a large, dense crown of leaves. The base of the bole can be covered with rough, reddish-brown bark. [ 3 ] The juvenile and adult leaves are stalked, with the adult leaves broad at the base, tapering to the tip. The adult leaf colour is a dull blue-green. The leaf also contains several to many oil-producing glands in the un-veined areas of the leaf. [ 4 ] It is fast growing, and usually grows to 40 to 45 meters in height, depending on its location. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The tree grows straight under favourable conditions, but can develop twisted branches in drier conditions. [ 3 ] River Reds and many other eucalypts have an ominous nickname, "Widow Maker", as they have a habit of dropping large boughs (often half the diameter of the trunk) without warning. [ 7 ] This form of self-pruning may be a means of saving water or simply a result of their brittle wood. This is also an efficient way of attracting wildlife that live in the holes formed, which gives the red gum a source of natural fertiliser [ citation needed ] .
