QLD Iron Gum

Eucalyptus tereticornis, commonly known as red iron gum, forest red gum, or blue gum, is a species of tree that is native to eastern Australia and southern New Guinea.

ICONIC Iron Gum is responsibly sourced from sustainable properties throughout Central to Southern QLD, and may also include Corymbia gummifera species.

The iron gum is a medium to tall forest tree. Trees of this species grow to a height of 20 to 50 metres, with a girth of up to two metres. The trunk is straight and is usually unbranched for more than half the total height of the tree, with limbs that are more steeply inclined than other eucalypt species.

The bark is shed in irregular sheets, resulting in a smooth trunk surface, coloured in patches of white, grey and blue. Rough dark grey to black dead bark is retained at the base of the stem. The timber is highly durable with an extremely high density. It displays a tight interlocking grain alongside its lush red colour, making it excellent for applications where appearance and durability are important.

Heartwood ranges in colour from light to dark red. The sapwood is distinctly paler in colour, a grey or cream-red that is distinguishable from the heartwood. Iron gum has class 1 durability for above and in-ground — the highest rating possible. Expect to have 25 years of service from iron gum timber in-ground. It does not require fire retardant treatment for use in construction in bush-fire prone areas.
