This one is probably at least 4 or 5 years old, still only 30 cm tall, a favourite Wallaby food, most likely Swamp Wallaby, I might actually cage this one for a year. Unmolested Bloodwood seedlings put on growth quite fast. I don't feel like I'm depriving the Wallabies of food, they also love both types of Privett, small and large leaf, there is plenty of small small leaf privett they have been grazing on perhaps 30 metres away under the canopy of Tallowood and Turpentine. One day I will find a more juvenile seedling specimen.
I have some of these not far from the house, coming soon.
The bark is quite soft and spongy but not flakey
Bloodwoods do get a lot bigger than this one.
