Identify Eucalyptus

Hi all,

Is this a Eucalyptus mannifera?

It is growing in Melbourne Australia

Gulp hate to be wrong with this one

Mm. Looks very similar from the pictures provided. Can't be sure though. I recommend you send samples to the Herbarium before chop..

I'm not sold on mannifera, the caps do not look right.

mannifera fruit is more conical and those are more cylindrical.

mannifera fruit valves are slightly exserted and those are strongly exserted like saligna.

I am 55 – when I was 20 my father and I set up a nursery and garden supplies business

We sold nicholii, ciriodora, maculata, mannifera, botryoides, globulus, etc etc – lots of common varieties suitable to Melbourne

This property is like revisiting my youth except the trees are mature

When I saw you suggested saligna – of course we sold them too – interesting experience this

Will look into it and get Euclid going to check

Thanks mate
