Australian gum trees are Eucalypts. They are evergreens, well suited to Australia's climate and conditions and include the world's tallest flowering plants (the swamp gum, or Australian mountain ash - Eucalyptus regnans, family Myrtaceae). Gum leaves are well suited to a dry, hot climate and on the same tree one may find different coloured leaves in different stages of development or decline.

Lovely photo of all the stages of gum tree leaves. The entire tree must look rather colorful.
