"Tree to 30 m tall. Forming a lignotuber. Bark fibrous or thin flakes held in variable amounts on trunk, sometime entire trunk rough, yellow-brown to yellow-grey; smooth bark pale grey to yellow; branchlets usually non-glaucous." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

Eucalyptus melliodora can look somewhat variable to the observer and occurs on some very different soils; sometimes on shallow, stoney soils and sometimes heavy, fertile soils. The rough bark may just cover a small part at the base or the entire trunk, it may be yellowish to greyish white, in the latter case blending in with cohabiting Eucalyptus tereticornis. The tree is very valuable to honey producers. The seed is more relevant to revegetation works in NSW than in Queensland to date.
