Discover the unique allure of Eucalyptus cloeziana, commonly known as Gympie Messmate, Dead Finish, or Queensland Messmate. Endemic to the rich landscapes of Queensland, this remarkable tree stands as a testament to nature's splendor. Growing up to 180 ft in forested areas but typically ranging between 30-80 ft, Eucalyptus cloeziana is characterized by its distinct bark and elegant foliage. Its trunk boasts thick, fibrous, brownish-grey bark, while the branches shed their skin to reveal smooth, orange to grey hues. The adult leaves are lance-shaped, spanning up to 5.5 inches, with a charming two-toned green.

In spring, the tree showcases clusters of white flowers, each bud nestled in leaf axils. The flowering spectacle gives way to woody, hemispherical capsules, providing a textured finish to its captivating life cycle. With a scattered yet widespread distribution across Queensland, from east of Tambo to the lofty slopes and tablelands near Gympie, this elegant eucalyptus thrives in open forests, often reigning as the dominant canopy. Embrace the beauty and resilience that is Gympie Messmate—a symbol of strength and serenity.
