The largest tuart tree has a wood volume of 108 m 3 (3,800 cu ft). [5] Taller trees are often found at the southern end of the trees' range, while smaller trees are found at the northern end. [6] The crown of the tree can spread up to a width of 25 metres (82 ft). [7]

Tuart trees are a unique and beautiful addition to the Swan Coastal Plain, they are big but rare trees around Perth becoming progressively larger and more numerous heading down the South coast, right along the main highway.

Tuart trees are native only to the coastal plain between Busselton and Jurien in the south west of Western Australia. They grow up to 40m high, live up to 500 years, and their stately grey trunks form an open forest different to others in the state.

Tuart forest is an open forest in which the dominant overstorey tree is Eucalyptus gomphocephala (tuart). This form of vegetation occurs only in the Southwest Botanical Province of Western Australia .

The largest tree native to the Swan Coastal Plain, tuart is also notable for its vigour, with an associated grace. It occurs on sand or limestone along a coastal strip 5-10 km wide; so not surprisingly it is one of the hardiest eucalypts in tolerating lime and salt winds.

In Trigg Bushland, Tuart is generally the only eucalypt on Quindalup sands but may grow in the vicinity of Marri on other soils (or where planting has occurred). Features of these trees (and Jarrah for comparison) are noted below.

The tuart is one of four dominant tree species of Western Australia and is unique to the State. All four species – tuart, karri, jarrah and tingle – belong to the Family Myrtaceae, the myrtles. The tuart is the largest tree on the Swan Coastal Plain.

In recent years, numbers of tuarts have declined dramatically within their natural range due to sprawling development. The Park has planted a number of tuart saplings and young trees in an effort to help bolster numbers on the Swan Coastal Plain.

The Tuart is usually a tall tree with trunk a third to half the overall height. The crown is well developed, with fairly dense, large spreading branches. Found only in a narrow belt of coastal south-western Western Australia, from 100 km north of Perth to Busselton.
