Ante--

Can you get any capsules (off ground) or flower buds? They'd help considerably.

Offhand, I'd say E. camaldulensis is close. Trunks appear more colorful than most found here in the US, but it's a variable species due to its broad native distribution. It's also the most commonly-planted species worldwide.

Another possibility is E. amplifolia.

Eucalyptus has well over 500species, all i can tell you from your pics is that it is in the Mallee type Eucs as they have 2 to 7 trunks and are smaller than the single eucs. Where is the pic taken btw Pete

I don't think this is a mallee. Per Matt Ritter (Cal Poly, SLO, pers. comm.):

"mallee(s): the growth form of many eucalypts, i.e. a multi-stemmed shrub with a lignotuber; (sometimes used loosely for a low straggly short-trunked tree)"

I don't see a lignotuber present. It's likely that these trees are simply low-branched, or possibly stump-sprouted from the main trunk having been cut or frozen. This is common here in CA.

Hmm, that means I have to take more pics
