Could you identify these two trees please? I live in Western Australia if that helps. I believe the first one is a blood Gum.

Tree one - Blood Gum? Tree one - Leaf Detail

My dog likes chewing the lower branches of this second one, so really want to make sure that's not a problem.

Tree two

Thanks!

  • It does resemble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corymbia_ficifolia but I'm not totally convinced. – Matt Jan 14 '16 at 09:50

I'm pretty sure this is an eucalyptus. For being 100% sure :

  • Bark is constently peeling in thin shred,
  • Leaves have a strong (and pleasant) smell

As you suggested, the red flowers suggest a corymbia ficifolia.
