It is related to the family of trees Eucalyptus and Corymbia and is originally from the Australian forests of the southern Queensland. Trees can be identified by their high height, smooth and uneven trunks and widely spreading branches. In general, they prefer warm, dry climate and well -drained soil for optimal growth, similar to their native soil. However, these trees do not create edible fruit.
