Read about Eucalyptus robusta in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Eucalyptus robusta, Smith. Swamp Mahogany. Handsome symmetrically branched tree of moderate height: bark of trunk persistent, rough, dark brown; of the branches reddish: lvs. oval-lanceolate, long-pointed, 3-7 in. long, 1½-3 in. wide, dark green, coriaceous: veins spreading almost at right angles to midrib: lid acute, about as long as calyx-tube; stamens 4-6 lines long; anthers with parallel cells: fr. goblet-shaped, becoming nearly ½ in. across, the rim thin and caps, much sunk. Oct.-March. F.v.M. Eucal. 7:8.—Formerly much planted in Calif. as a street tree, but the tops break down in strong winds, due to the heavy foliage and brittle wood; now almost discarded for this purpose: a profuse bloomer, especially valuable for bees: wood brittle but durable. Best adapted to moist coast districts but also flourishes in the interior valleys when given sufficient water: suggested for the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in districts free from heavy frosts. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
