Tallowwood (Eucalyptus microcorys)
This is likely to be the tree we were searching for last week.
The talk is this plant is around 70 metres tall. It's possible, but the top of the tree is out of sight, due to the rainforest canopy blocking the view.
We found another larger tallowwood further up the hill and to the left.
The tallest tree in New South Wales is probably this species.
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.
Estimated height, anywhere between 45 and 70 metres tall.
