Eucalyptus alba, or white gum, is a species of Eucalyptus which is native to Australia, Timor, and New Guinea. A dominant tree of open woodland, it reaches 18 m (60 ft) high with a spread of up to 15 m (50 ft).
It grows as a small to medium tree from 5 to 18 m high with a spreading crown of 5 to 15 m. The short trunk is often bent and has smooth grey to white powdery bark. Freshly-exposed new bark is pink.
A dominant tree in open woodlands, it is found from northeastern Western Australia across the Top End and into Queensland, as well as New Guinea and Timor. It is often found on ridges and elevated areas, often on poor soil.
Eucalyptus alba has horticutural appeal as an ornamental tree, and can also attract birds. It has also been used for fencing in northern Australia, while the flowers have been used in the beekeeping industry for honey.
It was valued by aborigines in the Northern Territory for firewood. (info source: wikipedia.org)
