[edit] Water drawn up by redgums

that figure sounds about right , they tap into the water table, thats how they survive droughts.--Hypo Mix 12:00, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi there. Nice page on the Redgum. I recently visited the Desert Park at Alice Springs and one of the guides there gave us a talk on Redgums.

I can't recall now, but I think he said they suck up around a thousand litres of water a day. Sounds huge, and I may have got the figure wrong. But the statistic, whichever it is, was quite large, and would be a great fact to have on this page?

I'll try and keep searching for the figure. I spose I could phone the Desert Park? But if anyone had the figure, why not put it up?

Cheers Jenny

[edit] Red Gum Resin

There is a resin produced by the red gum tree called red gum. It is used as a fuel and binder in many pyrotechnic formulas. Perhaps the page red gum should be a disambiguation page rather than a redirect to this page. --71.227.190.111 05:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

According to my information the "gum" you refer to is called kino. Most eucalypts produce it, but is found in large pockets in red gum wood. Has apparently been used in pharmaceuticals for styptics and astringant gargles....MarkAnthonyBoyle 10:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
