Sydney Blue Gum (Eucalyptus saligna) with tree fern (Sphaeropteris cooperi)
Sydney Blue Gum (Eucalyptus saligna) with Straw Treefern. It was previously Cyathea cooperi, now Sphaeropteris cooperi.
Perhaps the tallest forest in the Sydney metropolitan area. The tallest tree measured being 52 metres. I've seen a 68 metre Sydney blue gum up the north coast at Tirrill Creek. But these are wonderful all the same. The soils here are enriched by volcanic influences, the nearby Hornsby diatreme errupted in the Jurassic age.
There's only one canopy species here, the Sydney Blue Gum. On the edges are the Blackbutt (Eucalyptus pilularis) and Turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera). Angophora floribunda is an under-storey tree, growing to around 20 metres, under the blue gum canopy.
Apart from the trees, all vegetation here may be found in rainforests. All the vines and ferns and other small plants are equally happy in moist eucalyptus forest or rainforest. Having said that, Eucalyptus saligna is sometimes seen in the middle of a sub tropical rainforest, and if you draw a long bow, you could say it is a rainforest tree as well.
