It was formerly common around Sydney, and even now it is found in a 
number of suburbs, e.g., Burwood, Homebush, Hornsby, Ilurstville, Sutherland, 
George’s River, &c. Westerly it occurs as far as the Kurrajong ; also Springwood, 
on the Blue Mountains.

Propagation. —Writing to me from Oporto, Portugal, Mr. W. C. Tait says : 
“ This tree grows very well in this country. It is a hardier tree than E. globulus, 
standing both drought and cold better when young. I have planted most of the 
New South Wales eucalypts; many of them, however, are too tender for this climate 
when young, 5 or C degrees of frost killing them off; E. resiniferct is an exception.”
