Eucalyptus cinerea, Argyle apple or Mealy Stringybark, is a small to medium sized tree with rough bark, persistent on the trunk and larger branches, thick, fibrous, longitudinally furrowed, reddish-brown to grey-brown.
Trees are usually mature in the juvenile leaf phase but can often produce intermediate and adult leaves which are stalked, broad-lanceolate to 11 x 2cm, concolorous, greyish-blue and glaucous.
White flowers appear in mid spring to early summer.
Distribution is typically from north of Bathurst, in central west New South Wales, to the Beechworth area of Victoria.[1]
