How to identify Red ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon)
Red ironbark, also known as Mugga
Red ironbark presents as a tall, fast-growing evergreen with a distinctive, peeling reddish-gray bark that reveals a copper-brown layer underneath. The foliage, a unique blue-green hue, transitions to bronze in winter. Notable are its fluffy pink stamens clustered pendulously, blooming in fall and late spring. Its variable structure may exhibit weeping to upright forms, and it reaches heights of 20 to 60 feet (6 to 18 meters). Growth requires well-drained soils and tolerates cold down to about 20-25 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 to -4 degrees Celsius).
