Blue Gum High Forest

This is Sydney’s tallest forest, dominated by the smooth, pale trunks of the Sydney Blue Gum (Eucalyptus saligna). It’s a wet, shaded community that feels like a natural cooling system, featuring a deep green understory of ferns and large-leafed shrubs that love the high-rainfall ridges.

Location
If you live here: St Ives, Wahroonga, Pymble, Turramurra, Castle Hill, or Beecroft. You have the perfect conditions for a tall, "cathedral" style canopy. Your garden will naturally stay several degrees cooler in summer if you lean into this lush, forest-floor look.
