Eucalyptus subcrenulata

Tasmanian Alpine Yellow gum

juvenile foliage, large trees up on the hill

I think it would be nice to show a sign beside the juvenile (even though it may need to be removed after a few years) and another further up of the adult.

Incidentally, Wombat Moor is just about at the upper altitudinal limit for Euc. subcrenulata!
