Jarrah
Eucalyptus marginata
Despite being one of the more significant species in the Park, the jarrahs (Eucalyptus marginata) are amongst the least common of our eucalypt species. Historical logging and their susceptibility to the introduced Phytopthora dieback fungus has reduced their numbers dramatically.
Remnant stands can still be found throughout the woodland areas , including within Woodland Reserve, and jarrah saplings have been planted in some of the Park's habitat restoration sites.
Jarrah trees produce cream coloured flowers from spring to early summer, before forming small, spherical shaped fruits that are a popular food item for many native parrot species.
