medium sized tree with striking white trunk. Distribution &
botanical details NSW Western Slopes Dry Sclerophyl Forests and
Southern Tableland Dry Sclerophyl Forests Specialises in low-
nutrient, dry, rocky, skeletal soils on a variety of substrates
including sandstone, granite, and mudstones. Dominant or co-
dominant canopy tree. Old trees frequently shed limbs and are
particularly abundant in nesting hollows. Attractive tree, the
trunk is very striking, varying in colour across the year from
white, to blothchy grey, salmon and pink. White only reasonably
showy. Limb-shedding habit limits its use to broadacre
landscapes. Extremely useful for revegetation of eroded sites,
quarries and mines with rocky, skeletal substrates without
topsoil, particularly those of sedimentary origin or coarse
texture. The timber is light and brittle. Seed and germination
