Australian mountain ash

A very large, evergreen tree with a mature height of 90m (300ft) rivalling giant redwoods for size and making it suitable for only the largest gardens or parkland. The rough-textured bark on the trunk does not shed and is greyish brown. On the branches, the bark sheds in strips to reveal new bark beneath in cream, green and grey. The juvenile foliage and adult foliage are both lance-shaped and green. Flowers are white and appear in autumn. The foliage and stems are aromatic of eucalyptus and balsam when crushed
