Gumtree

/ˈɡʌmtriː/ noun

Definition

A large Australian tree that produces a resinous substance, often called eucalyptus, known for its tall straight trunk and peeling bark.

Etymology

From English 'gum' (the sticky resin produced by the tree) + 'tree'. The term originated in Australia in the 1800s when European colonists encountered these distinctive trees and named them for the gum they produced.

Kelly Says

Koalas spend almost their entire lives in gumtrees and have special bacteria in their stomachs to digest the toxic leaves that would poison most other animals—they're basically living in a pharmacy!
