    Default What Tree Is This

    This tree lost a branch recently and it was decided that it might be useful for small projects in wood turning. Does anyone know what type of tree this is?

    Looks like a swamp mahogany to me. pics of the seeds would help in giving it a positive id.

    I agree with Wood Collector. It looks very much like a Swamp Mahogany (Eucalyptus robusta). Koalas love them.

    Default As a comparison

    If you are anywhere near the Royal Botanic gardens Sydney there used to be a nice row of E robusta in the gardens near the sandstone wall (close to Mrs Macquarie's Rd side and down towards the harbour from the cactus).

    Will have to see if I can get photos of the seeds.

    Not really close to the botanical gardens in the near future but you never know. Will keep that in the back of my mind.
