Like all eucalypts, stringybarks belong to the Myrtaceae family. In exceptionally fertile locations some stringybark species in particular Messmate Stringybark Eucalyptus obliqua can be very large, reaching over 80 metres in height. More typically, stringybarks are medium sized trees in the 10 to 40 metre range. Early European colonists often used the bark for roofing and walls of huts. The term stringybark is often used in error. For example, scientists consider Eucalyptus obliqua not to be related to the stringybarks, because of the gumnut shape. ref Forest Trees of Australia, D.J.
