Grey Box (Eucalyptus microcarpa) is a australian native tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 18 m high and 12 m spread, with a open canopy form. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
