Snow Tree Stock Photography

This is a small to medium sized evergreen tree with attractive whitish-grey patterned bark which peels away in long narrow strips. It has slender weeping branches and shiny pendulous leaves. Young branches and leaf stems are deep reddish-brown. The main flowering period is spring to early summer. Small white flowers are attached to the branches in tight round clusters of about 15. Mature brown gum nuts are cup-shaped, also in clusters but in varying numbers. Eucalyptus lacrimans is closely related to the more common snow gum, Eucalyptus pauciflora. Height 20m Spread 10m.
