The ghost gum tree, also known as Corymbia aparrerinja, primarily thrives in arid and semi-arid regions of Australia, particularly in areas like the central and northern parts of the country. It is commonly found in sandy or rocky soils, often near watercourses and in open woodlands. The tree is well-adapted to withstand harsh conditions, including drought and high temperatures. Its striking white bark and unique appearance make it a distinctive feature of the Australian landscape.

Absolutely. Many species of eucalyptus (gum trees) drop branches, and the ghost gum is notorious for doing this.

The seeds of the ghost gum (Corymbia aparrerinja), a native Australian tree, are small, disc-shaped, and typically brown in color. They are produced in woody capsules that open to release the seeds when mature, often after fire or during dry conditions. The seeds are light and can be dispersed by wind, facilitating their spread across the landscape. Ghost gum seeds play a crucial role in the regeneration of this iconic tree species in its native habitat.
