Eucalyptus camaldulensis

The River Red Gum is located in the middle of a circular dirt road on the northern side of Baringhup Nature Reserve, approximately 40 metres from the Loddon River. This tree pre-dates European occupation and is part of the traditional lands of the Dja Dja Wurrung people. 

This River Red Gum is significant for scientific and aesthetic reasons at the Regional level. 

This River Red Gum is scientifically significant for its outstanding canopy spread of 37m, which is one of the largest canopy spreads for Red Gums listed in the Significant Tree Register. Its size and structure are particularly impressive, given its location in a small gully. It is aesthetically significant for its unusual physical features, with a broad root mass and the main trunk growing at a 45-degree angle. It is the largest and most significant tree of its kind on the reserve, contributing to the beauty of the landscape.
