Rating for this plant:
A small- medium weeping gum. the bark is strikingly striated lengthways as the rich red- brown bark peels back in long stripes to reveal the white bark underneath. The younger woody growth is white and particulary so in the cooler months, looks spectacular as it weeps downwards.

I like this opinion
