Eucalyptus cerasiformis also known as the Cherry-fruited mallee is a eucalypt that is native to Western Australia.[1]
The mallee typically grows to a height of 2 to 3.5 metres (7 to 11 ft) and has smooth grey to brown bark.[1] The adult leaves are disjunct, glossy, grey-green, thin and concolorous. The blade has a narrow lanceolate shape and is basally tapered.[2] When the tree blooms between December and March[1] it produces a simple axillary conflorescence with seven flowered umbellasters and terete peduncles, the flowers are white or cream in colour. The fruits that develop later have a cylindrical or hemispherical or urceolate shape.[2]
