About this plant

White mahogany is a long-lived forest eucalypt with rough, fibrous bark, a spreading canopy and clusters of small white flowers. Its blossoms support insects and nectar-feeding wildlife, and old trees provide important forest structure. This is a large habitat tree for spacious properties and suitable restoration plantings, not a small suburban courtyard.
