same plant as in https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4486575
Showing pink colour of stems and parts of leaves, venation on a young leaf from the upper canopy, 2nd photo is branch from the upper canopy showing transition away from opposite to alternate leaves, third photo is from the lower canopy where all leaves are opposite. Last photo is trunk showing ribbons. Saw bud cluster of 7, but on 15 June saw clusters of more than 7, and one flower was visible. Must have been planted, a ring-in when planting local species, supplied in error.

Don't believe it is E. viminalis. Bud clusters have too many buds. Watch for update on this. Suspect it is E. dives and possibly not planted as there is one old E. dives not far away and more known in adjacent reserves.
