White stringybark is a type of tree that is native to Australia, and it is known for its hard, durable timber. This species of eucalyptus tree is also commonly referred to as white gum, stringybark, or smooth-barked apple. The tree gets its name from the fibrous bark that hangs off the trunk and branches in long stringy strips. The leaves of the white stringybark are narrow and pointed, and they have a distinct bluish-green color that contrasts with the white bark. Other synonyms for this tree may include Tasmanian white gum, coastal white gum, and southern white gum, each dependent on the area in which it grows.
