Native to the east coast of Australia ,
Euc. grandis is one of the premier forest species in the Australian States of Queensland and New South Wales where it grows 43 to 55 m tall and 122 to 183 cm in diameter. Its form is excellent with tall, straight, clean holes up to two-thirds of the total height. The bark is thin and deciduous, shedding in strips to expose a smooth surface.
It is one of the most important commercial eucalypts, with more than one-half million hectares planted in tropical and subtropical areas on four continents. Massive planting programs have been carried out in the Republic of South Africa and Brazil and there are substantial plantings in Angola, Argentina, India, Uruguay, Zaire, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
