Susceptible (North Coast) Eucalypts

Introduction

Some species of eucalypts (Eucalyptus, Corymbia and others) naturally carry higher loads of psyllids and are more vulnerable to the impacts of BMAD. The button below links you to a list of highly and moderately susceptible eucalypts commonly found on the NSW North Coast.



Overview of Susceptible Eucalypts

Highly Susceptible Species

Dunn's white gum

(Eucalyptus dunnii)

Flooded gum

(Eucalyptus grandis)

Grey coastal ironbark 

(E. siderphloia)

Grey ironbark

(Eucalyptus paniculata)

Sydney blue gum

(Eucalyptus saligna)

Grey gum

(Eucalyptus punctata)

Narrow-leaved white mahogany 

(Eucalyptus acmenoides)


Moderately Susceptible Species


Some species are also moderately susceptible to BMAD. These species can be affected by BMAD, but usually not so severely. If there is a mixed forest of highly and moderately susceptible species, the highly susceptible species will be affected first, followed by the moderately susceptible species.

Blakely's red gum

(Eucalyptus blakelyi)

Mountain blue gum

(Eucalyptus deanei)

Yellow box

(Eucalyptus melliodora)

Small-fruited grey gum

(Eucalyptus propinqua)

Blue leaved stringybark

(Eucalyptus agglomerata)

River white gum

(Eucalyptus elata)

Grey box

(Eucalyptus moluccana)

Narrow-leaved stringybark

(Eucalyptus sparsifolia)

Monkey gum
