The Tasmanian blue gum, southern blue gum or blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) is an evergreen tree, one of the most widely cultivated trees native to Australia. They typically grow from 30â55 m (98â180 ft) tall. The tallest currently known specimen in Tasmania is 90.7 m (298 ft) tall.hey are about 6 to 15 cm long and covered with a blue-grey, waxy bloom, which is the origin of the common name blue gum. The mature leaves are narrow, sickle-shaped and dark shining green. They are arranged alternately on rounded stems and range from 15â35 cm (5.9â13.8 in) in length.
The smooth, brown outer bark of the Blue Gum peels in large pieces to reveal large patches of bluish-white bark underneath, giving the tree a piebald appearance. The gray-green leaves grow in thick, smooth, and rounded and gradually stretch out to a sharp elliptic-shape.he Tasmanian Blue Gum is rich in nectar and so are a good crop for bees and hummingbirds. They inhibit the growth of other vegetation and so create virtual monocultures of various eucalyptus trees, with the exception of a few hardy grasses.
