Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys)
What is the tallest tree in New South Wales?
You can read a lot of incorrect information on this subject. No-one really knows for sure. It's possibly this species of tree, or maybe even this individual. Others say (with justification) that it's an 82 metre tall Eucalyptus nobilis.
This tree is immense, of gigantic size, but I couldn't see the top to measure it.
Tallowwood often grow on rainforest margins, in good soils in high rainfall areas. Because the rainforest trees obscure a view of the top part of the tree, conventional measurement is impossible. The only way is to either chop it down or for the tree to be climbed.
The talk is that this tree is 70 metres or so in height, that's plausible.
Estimated height, anywhere between 55 and 85 metres tall.
