The sixth National Eucalypt Day saw events continuing to grow across the country with Botanic Gardens, conservation groups and native nurseries participating.
Particular highlights included the research conference: “Eucalypt genetics: fundamental and applied research in a post-genome era” held at the University of Tasmania in February and the commissioning of the “Eucalypt Sculpture Commission” by Kylie Stillman in conjunction with the Castlemaine State Festival.
The eucalyptus pauciflora, the tenacious Snow Gum is crowned the second Eucalypt of the Year.
There was no medal awarded in 2019.
