In a Nutshell:

* E. viminalis is widely distributed in the cooler areas of Australia where the leaves are the favoured food of Koalas.

* Timber is generally pale pink to pinkish brown in colour, often with distinctive light grey streaks. The attractive light pink tones of this species and its easy workability make it desirable in furniture applications. more...

* Quick growing, extremely tall, grows well in poor soil, grayish-white bark, creamy-white branches, bark produces a "manna" eaten by natives, wood used for shingles and rough woodworking, common in cultivation. more...

* A manna is exuded from the leaves (from the bark as well according to some reports) as a result ofinsect damage. The red gum or manna exuding from cracks in the bark is eaten eagerly by boys. Eucalyptus manna,which exudes from punctures in summer months, is sometimes consumed. A very pleasant sweet taste. more...
