"Tree to 55 (–75) m tall." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)
Eucalyptus grandis, as its name suggests, is a tree a very large proportions and seed collections are difficult in deep forest situations, often in cleared areas also where tree height may be more constrained by light availability. Demand for seed is currently limited because its natural distribution is extremely coastal.
"Coastal areas and subcoastal ranges from east of Gympie south to near Newcastle in new South Wales; also west of Mackay and from Mount Elliot south-east of Townsville to the Windsor Tableland west of Daintree in northern Queensland." (Brooker, M.I.H., and Kleinig, D.A., 2004)
