A medium sized tree attaining a height of 30 to 50 m and a stem diameter of 1.5 m. The stem is usually straight and free of branches for a considerable length. The bark hard, coarse, deeply furrowed and ridged. It ranges from dark brown to black in colour and is persistent to the small branches.

A medium sized tree attaining a height of 20 to 30 metres and 1m in stem diameter. The trunk is generally straight and of good form. A finely tessellated grey coloured box-type bark is persistent to the base of the branches, where it changes to a smooth light grey bark which is often shed in ribbons.

The grey gums can grow to 40m in height and 1m diameter. On better sites form is generally good with a straight bole extending for half or two-thirds the tree's height. The bark decorticates in large irregular patches exposing a cream to bright orange surface, which after a time weathers to grey or grey-brown.

The brown to yellow-brownbark often has surface pores and horizontal cracks on under layers and has a characteristic spongy response to finger pressure.

E. acmenoides is a tall tree attaining a height of 60 m and a stem diameter over 1 m. E. umbra ssp. umbra and carnea are small to medium sized trees of 8 to 25 m in height and up to 1 m stem diameter.
