It’s often found along watercourses. The tree is known for its tall, straight trunk and the beautiful red-brown timber it produces, which has been used historically for construction and as firewood. The bark tends to peel off in strips, revealing a smooth, pale surface underneath. This tree is quite adaptable, thriving in a variety of environments, although it’s most commonly found near rivers, hence the name. It plays a significant ecological role in its native habitat, providing food and shelter for various wildlife. Its deep roots help stabilize riverbanks and improve soil conditions.Red gum is so named for its brilliant red wood, which can range from a light pink through to almost black, depending on the age and weathering. It is somewhat brittle and is often cross-grained, making hand working difficult. Traditionally used in rot resistant applications like stumps, fence posts and sleepers, more recently it has been recognised in craft furniture for its spectacular deep red colour and typical fiddleback figure. It needs careful selection, as it tends to be quite reactive to changes in humidity (moves about a lot in service). It is quite hard, dense (about 900 kg/m3 (1,500 lb/cu yd)), can take a fine polish and carves well. It is a popular timber for wood turners, particularly if old and well-seasoned. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a tree that typically grows to a height of 20 metres (66 ft) but sometimes to 45 metres (148 ft) and often does not develop a lignotuber. The bark is smooth white or cream-coloured with patches of yellow, pink or brown. Characteristics: Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a massive evergreen tree which reaches heights of about 130 to 180 feet. The trunk width is usually about five to seven feet in diameter. The crown is open, widely spreading, irregular and branches tend to form not far above the ground. The bark is smooth and white, gray, buff, or brownish-red in color. The red gum has leaves typical of most eucalyptus trees, which are lanceolate in shape. The leaves are a dull green to gray-green on both sides, about three to eight inches long, and a half inch to an inch wide. The white flowers bloom in groups of five to ten mainly in the late spring and summer and followed by small light brown seed capsules. Cultivation Notes: Eucalyptus camaldulensis is a beautiful tree with a curved trunk, and a spreading crown. Potential problems include its roots, which can be invasive in a landscape, and can grow into septic tanks and other below-ground infrastructure. The red river gum also drops large branches, and lots of litter from its leaves, shedding bark, and twigs. It is tolerant of alkaline soils. E. camaldulensis should be grown in full sunlight in a large open area, and requires regular pruning. Hardy to 20°FEthnobotany: E. camaldulensis has many uses. The leaves are used to obtain an essential oil used quite frequently in aromatherapy, bath, and other hygiene products. It was an important species to the Aboriginal people of inland Australia who used its wood to make canoes and its roots as a water source. The durable wood is also used frequently for construction, flooring, furniture, cabinetry, fence posts, and occasionally as pulpwood. In Sudan, it is planted around crops to protect them from the blowing sands. The red river gum tree is also an excellent producer of pollen and nectar for honey. In a landscape, E. camaldulensis functions as a windbreak. Because of its pendulous form, E. camaldulensis is popular as a structural tree or a skyline tree. It is suitable for large areas, and not suitable for residential or garden use.Height: 50 - 100 feetWidth: 20 - 50 feetGrowth Rate: Moderate GrowingGrow Season: SummerFlower Season: WinterColor: WhiteFunction: ShadeSpread: SpreadingAllergen: Non-allergenicInvasive: InvasiveToxicity: BenignHardy: HardyWater Use: Low water Use Growing ConditionsSunlight: This tree loves full sun. Make sure it’s planted in a spot that gets plenty of direct sunlight throughout the day.Soil: Eucalyptus camaldulensis is quite adaptable and can grow in a range of soil types, from sandy to clay. However, it prefers well-draining soil. It can also tolerate poor, salty, and even slightly acidic soils.Watering: Although it's a drought-tolerant species once established, young trees need regular watering. Make sure to water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. It’s especially crucial during the first couple of years.Temperature: This species is hardy in warm climates but can tolerate a bit of frost. It’s best suited for USDA hardiness zones 9-11. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
