"Tree to 35 m tall. Lignotuber absent." (Euclid, 4th Ed.)

The bark colouration of Eucalytpus puntata differs a little from E. propinqua usually by the addition of, or increase in heavy grey shades besides the orange and cream. The fruit is larger and closer in size to that of E. longirostrata versus E. propinqua and E. major. The seed production is very generous for whatever material can be gained, however approachability is sometimes poor due to the height of the lowest branches. We observe this species along the Jimna Range where it is common in eucalypt forest bordering Araucaria scrubs. Demand for seed exists mainly in NSW where its distribution along coastal ranges is more extensive.
