A tree which exhibits a curious growth form or physical feature such as abnormal outgrowths, natural fusion of branches, severe lightning damage or unusually pruned forms.

A medium-sized Grey Box growing amongst a larger stand near the roadside edge. This tree displays a large gall formation just above ground level on the western side. The gall is about 1.2m x 1.2m and an older and smaller gall is also present. The tree is in good condition and has a well-shaped crown. Gall formations are relatively common on Eucalyptus camaldulensis but much less so on Eucalpytus microcarpa.
