Eucalyptus tricarpa, commonly known as red ironbark or mugga ironbark is a species of tree prevalent in south-eastern Australia. It has thick, rough ironbark on the trunk and branches, lance-shaped adult leaves. The flower buds usually grow in groups of three, with white flowers and cylindrical or spherical fruit. This tree provides a good food source for insects and birds, and notably for the critically endangered swift parrot. Creamy pink flowers occur between May and December
