Scribbly Gum

Eucalyptus rossii, commonly known as Scribbly Gum, is a medium-sized Australian native tree celebrated for its distinctive bark, which features intricate, scribble-like markings made by moth larvae beneath the surface. Found in woodlands and dry forests across eastern Australia, this hardy species showcases smooth, pale grey to white bark that sheds in patches, enhancing its textured, patterned appearance. The foliage consists of slender, lance-shaped leaves in muted green tones, which contrast beautifully with the creamy white flowers that bloom in clusters during the warmer months. With its unique trunk markings and refined structure, Scribbly Gum makes a sculptural addition to native gardens, bushland-inspired landscapes, or low-maintenance planting schemes.
