Photos of Eucalyptus dalrympleana

This E. dalrympleana in Olympia, WA was Olympia's largest euc until the December 1998 freeze.  The tree was damaged and removed although it might have recovered.  Also I think this tree might have been pruned to make it more bushy.

Bark and leaves of another E. dalrympleana in Olympia.  (This image, incidentally, I used for the background on the old version of the Eucalyptus Page.)

Young plant of E. dalrympleana showing the rounded, green (often slightly bluish) juvenile leaves.

Flower buds of E. dalrympleana in my garden.  The buds on this tree are a little shorter and more sessile than your average E. dalrympleana.

Another shot of the sickle-shaped adult leaves of E. dalrympleana in my garden.

The leaves may also look something more like these (this is the specimen in my garden with sessile buds).

Bark peeling patterns of E. dalrympleana can get quite interesting at times.  This is the trunk of the specimen in my garden with the sessile buds (about a year earlier).

Another picture of the beautiful peeling bark and adult leaves of E. dalrympleana in my garden.

This plant grown from a packet of E. dalrympleana seeds is a good example of an E. dalrympleana/viminalis intermediate.  Note that the juvenile leaves are longer than in the above photo of a plant in a pot.  E. dalrympleana and E. viminalis intergrade in Tasmania, where many plants with juvenile leaves can be found.  These plants are a little less hardy than typical E. dalrympleana, which was proven by this plant when it froze in December 1998.
