  Angophora costata - Growing Native Plants
The genus Angophora is closely allied to Corymbia and Eucalyptus (family Myrtaceae) but differs in that it usually has opposite leaves and possesses overlapping, pointed calyx lobes instead of the operculum or lid on the flower buds of eucalypts.
Angophora costata, or Smooth-barked Apple, is a large, wide, spreading tree growing to a height of between 15 and 25 m.
Angophora costata occurs naturally on the sandy soils and stony ridges of southern Queensland forests, extending inland as far as the Warrego district.

 Eucalyptus
A small genus similar trees, the Angophora[?], have also been known since the 18th century.
In 1995 new evidence, largely, genetic, indicated that some prominent Eucalyptus species were actually more closely related to the Angophoras than to the other eucalypts; they were split off into the new genus Corymbia.
Although separate, the three groups are allied and it remains acceptable to refer to the members of all three genera, Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus as "eucalpyts".

 Angophora bakeri
Angophora; from Greek angos, a jar or vessel and phorus, to bear, referring to the cup-shaped fruits.
Angophora is a genus of about 10 species which are confined to eastern Australia from south-eastern Queensland to Victoria.
Angophoras are commonly called "Apples", because some species have a growth habit similar to that of the apple tree.

 Indigenous Landscape Design Australia - Archives
Angophoras have been known as apples since the early days of European settlement, due to their supposed resemblance to the apple tree.
Description Angophora costata is a fast growing tree, with an open crown and short trunk on sandy soil, growing taller and denser on heavier soils.
In late spring the old bark is shed in irregular patches, accountimng for the often mottled appearance of the trunk.

The first botanical collections of Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora were made by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander in 1770.
In the case of Angophora the calyx and corolla are free - i.e.
The fruit are usually ribbed and the calyx lobes usually persist and project from the rim as "teeth".

 bonsaiTALK Community - Eucalyptus as Bonsai.
(While not a true Eucalyptus species, Angophora is so closely related in habit and form as 2 be included under the title 'Eucalypt'.) One of the main features of this species is the smooth bark which flakes off on a yearly basis, giving a brilliant multi-coloured display similar 2 that of Lagerstroemia species.
The Angophora needs 2 go into a training pot for a couple of years in order 2 develop bulk and branches.
The pot here is the same size as the one it came in, and I've inverted an old Osmocote bucket so that the roots which grow will be more manageable at the next repot.

 Corymbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Molecular research in the 1990s, however, showed that they, along with the ghost gums, are more closely related to Angophora than to Eucalyptus, and are probably best regarded as a separate genus.
All three genera - Angophora, Corymbia and Eucalyptus - are closely related, often difficult to tell apart, and are still commonly and correctly referred to as "eucalypts".
A tall, smooth-trunked tree native to central and northern Queensland and planted in many other areas, well known for the beauty of its white or light grey trunk and instantly recognisable by the strong lemon scent of its leaves.

 The University of Melbourne - Plant Directory - FAQ
If you look at the way the leaves are arranged on the stems, you will find that eucalypts have their leaves borne singly, and, if you inspect the stem, you'll notice that the leaves spiral up the stem.
Angophoras have their leaves in pairs, opposite each other on the stems.
The fruit of the two genera are different also: while quite similar, Angophora fruit always have ribs on the outside, extending into little teeth that project above the top of the cup-like capsule.

 Better red than dead: getting to the root of a harbour foreshore gum killer - www.smh.com.au
It is just one of many facing the team of tree "detectives" trying to understand the process of dieback among the angophora, instantly recognisable in good health by pinkish limbs.
While phytophthora "delivered the killer punch", it is only one factor involved in stressing, sapping and hastening the death of the trees, says Brett Summerell, a plant pathologist at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens, whose soil sampling first identified the culprit in 1999.
Fungicide trials have been so encouraging that a licence to extend their use through the bushland is being sought, says Ms Whight, pointing to injection holes that have been drilled into the trunk of an old eucalypt.

The Angophora is a deciduous tree as each summer it loses its violet outer layer of bark, which heaps around the base of the trunk, revealing its new clean orange and salmon coloured bark.
It thrives in the shale soil which is plentiful on the grounds of Lorien Novalis School.
Therefore they were removed from the Eucalyptus family, and named Angophora.

The mainly open woodland, with Eucalyptus piperita and Angophora costata dominant, is developed on Hawkesbury sandstone with occasional shale bands and generally sandy soils.
The reserve forms part of a sinuous, fire prone urban woodland area, much of which consitutes Lane Cove National Park, and was purposely burned in December 1994.
The vegetation structure of the reserve is primarily open woodland with tree species including Smooth-barked Apple (Angophora costata), Scribbly Gum (Eucalyptus haemastoma) and Peppermint Gum (Eucalyptus piperata).
