Eucalyptus dalrympleana, commonly known as broad-leaved kindlingbark[1] or mountain white gum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae, native to southeastern Australia. It is a fast-growing evergreen tree growing to 50 m (164 ft) in favourable conditions, but much smaller in poor soils. Other common names include broad-leaved ribbon gum, mountain gum, seven-flowered mountain gum.[2] The bark is smooth, darkening to salmon pink or light brown before flaking off to reveal new pure white bark. The flowers are white, in umbels of three and are a good source of honey in summer. The blue-green leaves are strongly aromatic, as with most eucalypti.[3]
The species occurs in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. In cultivation in the UK it is fully hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F) but prefers some shelter. It grows best in full sun. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3] [4]
