Does anyone know what Eucalyptus tree this one is,i've been growing seedlings from this tree for the last year or so and have found that they are not effected by the leave roller insect,that have been so hard on many other Eucalyps that i had planted previously.Also its very frost hardy

Eucalypts can be difficult to identify without more details as there are hundreds of them. I'm not up on all the different ones though my father could ID lots of different ones. I have an ID book here but that won't help you but I found this site though it only has ones from that area.

If you could tell me (or take photos) of what the nuts look like, colour flowers and a closer view of the trunk and bark, I could look it up in my book. Someone else may know it though.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to use it in a fruit salad.
A ounce of common sense is worth more than a ton of intelligence.

Forget about the last two one has the wrong bark and the other one has different something well the seed pods are strange..
Only Google Eucalyptus laeliae this ones bark looks right, there are so many out there..
