small council planted gums which struggled for some years to get this size which is about 3m tall. There are another six or so across the road but as I got so much on these I didn't cross the 4 lanes to look!
Safe to key to Angophora sp. based on the globular ribbed hairy buds. The opposite sessile ovate leaves with amplexicaul base and greyish flaky-fibrous bark are similar to Angophora hispida which is often planted.
