Eucalyptus Viminalis (Ribbon Gum)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucalyptus_viminalis)
A straight erect tree with rough bark on the trunk and base of larger branches, its upper bark peels away in long "ribbons" which can collect on the branches and surrounding ground. Occasionally it can attain very large sizes. The tree with the largest recorded diameter (324.7cm) is located at Woodbourne in Marlborough, New Zealand.
E. Viminalis is widely distributed in the cooler areas of Australia where the leaves are the favoured food of Koalas. Sap has a 5–15% sugar content which makes it an essential part of the energy budget for arboreal or tree dwelling marsupial mammals like Yellow-bellied, Sugar and other gliders.
Timber is generally pale pink to pinkish brown in colour, often with distinctive light grey streaks. The attractive light pink tones of this species and its easy workability make it desirable in furniture applications. Structurally, uses are limited due to its low strength and durability.

Quercus Robur (English Oak)
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_robur)
A large deciduous tree, with a circumference of grand oaks from 4m to an exceptional 12m. It has lobed and very short-stalked leaves 7–14 cm long. Flowering takes place in mid spring, and their fruit, called acorns, ripen by the following autumn.
It is a long-lived tree, with a large widespreading crown of rugged branches. While it may naturally live to an age of a few centuries, many of the oldest trees are pollarded or coppiced, both pruning techniques that extend the tree's potential lifespan, if not its health. Two individuals of notable longevity are the Stelmuze Oak in Lithuania and the Granit oak in Bulgaria, which are believed to be more than 1,500 years old, possibly making them the oldest oaks in Europe; another specimen, called the 'Kongeegen' ('Kings Oak'), estimated to be about 1,200 years old, grows in Jaegerspris, Denmark.
In Germany, the oak tree is used as a symbol in romanticism.
In England, the English oak has assumed the status of a national emblem.
