Eucalyptus grandis, the flooded gum or rose gum, has a few ornamentally planted specimens in 7th Brigade Park. Despite the park being drier than their preferred habitat they grow well, though not with the tall single-trunked habit typical of the species. Bark is shed in long ribbons from most of the trunk and branches, except for a persistent stocking of bark at the base.
