Eucalyptus crebra is a plant of the subtropical to tropical zones of eastern Australia where it can be found at elevations from sea level to 1,400 metres. It grows best in areas where annual daytime temperatures are within the range 26 - 36°c, but can tolerate 9 - 40°c[418 ]. New growth can be killed by temperatures of -1°c or lower, whilst temperatures of -5°c can kill even the dormant plant[418 ]. It prefers a mean annual rainfall in the range 600 - 2,000mm, but tolerates 500 - 2,400mm]. Requires a sunny position. Prefers a light to medium, well-drained soil, succeeding in soils of low fertility]. Found in the wild in a range of soils, but mainly acid sandy soils, sometimes overlying alkaline clayey subsoils. Prefers a pH in the range 5.5 - 6.5, tolerating 5 - 7.5]. Established plants are drought tolerant. Trees are somewhat slow-growing Tree to 35 m tall. Forming a lignotuber. Ironbark to small branches, dark grey or black, hard and deeply furrowed. Juvenile growth (coppice or field seedlings to 50 cm): stem rounded or square in cross-section; juvenile leaves opposite for a few pairs, then alternate, petiolate, linear, lanceolate or falcate, 5–12 cm long, 0.6–1.7 cm wide, grey-green or green. Adult leaves alternate, petiole 0.7–2 cm long; blade linear to narrowly lanceolate to lanceolate, 5.5–18 cm long, (0.6)0.7–2.7 cm wide, base tapering to petiole, concolorous, dull, green to grey-green to rarely glaucous, side-veins at an acute or sometimes wider angle to midrib, densely to very densely reticulate, intramarginal vein parallel to and just within margin, oil glands mostly intersectional or obscure. Inflorescence normally terminal compound, sometimes axillary single umbels, peduncles 0.2–1.3 cm long, buds 7, 9 or 11 per umbel, pedicels 0.2–0.7 cm long. Mature buds clavate to fusiform to diamond-shaped or ovoid, 0.3–0.7 cm long, 0.2–0.4 cm wide, green to yellow, smooth, scar present, operculum conical to rounded, stamens usually irregularly flexed, anthers adnate, globoid, dehiscing by broad lateral pores or slits, style long, stigma blunt or pin-head shaped, locules 3 or 4, the placentae each with 4 vertical ovule rows. Flowers white. Fruit on pedicels 0.1–0.6(0.9) cm long, cup-shaped, barrel-shaped or hemispherical, 0.2–0.7 cm long, 0.25–0.6 cm wide, disc descending, valves 3 or 4, near rim level or enclosed. Seeds brown or grey, 0.8–2 mm long, ovoid or flattened-ovoid or pointed at one end, dorsal surface shallowly pitted, hilum ventral. Pictures show adult plant and its possible applications. The pot is not included. Root ball of the plant comes in a plastic poly bag, sealed to maintain moisture for the 3 days that the plant is in transit. Height of the plants is measured from the base of the root ball. No returns, refunds or exchanges
