Eucalyptus camphora

Eucalyptus camphora, or Swamp Gum, is a medium-sized, multi-stemmed tree native to southeastern Australia, commonly found in wet forests, swamps, and along waterways. Growing up to 15 meters tall, it features smooth, patchy bark in shades of grey, brown, and cream, with broad, glossy green leaves and small, white flowers that bloom in late summer, attracting pollinators such as bees and insects.

Swamp Gum thrives in waterlogged soils and tolerates periodic flooding, making it ideal for riparian restoration and wetland rehabilitation projects. Its dense canopy provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including birds and mammals, while its extensive root system stabilizes soil and reduces erosion.

With its adaptability to wet conditions, ecological value, and ornamental appeal, Eucalyptus camphora is a valuable choice for habitat creation, revegetation, and native gardens in areas prone to high moisture levels.
