Rose River Gum is prized for its lovely rose coloring with tones from the palest pink to a deep tawny red. Rose River Gum is a select group of fast growing hardwoods that thrive in the warm climate of flatlands or on the lower slopes of deep fertile valleys. Typically a very tall tree, up to 180' in height, Rose River Gum grows in the extensive natural forests of New South Wales and the coastal valleys of Queensland.

The grain is straight with an occasional "scribble" pattern.
