Eucalyptus phoenicea

Description

Small to medium sized tree with beautiful orange-red flowers from tropical northern Australia. It has soft, fibrous, papery bark, and is usually single trunk-ed but it is lignotuberous so can shoot away from the base for a multitrunked tree. It has long urceolate seeds pods that are unique to this eucalypt. The photo is by Dean Nicholle - I hope he doesn't mind!
