The Red Tingle (Eucalyptus jacksonii) in Walpole Nornalup National Park is one of the tallest trees in the state and can measure up to 24 metres round at the base and grow to a height of 75 metres.
The trees often have shallow root systems and grow a buttressed base. Forest fires often act to hollow out the base of the trees creating a large cavity. Red Tingle Trees are found just outside of Walpole, in Western Australia’s southwest corner, and have to be one of Australia’s most spectacular trees.

With circumferences of up to 22m, these giants are exceptionally wide at the base as well as reasonably tall, growing to heights of 30m.
