Eucalyptus stellulata, commonly known as Black Sallee, is an evergreen tree or mallee native to the montane and subalpine regions of Eastern Australia, particularly in the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, and Victoria. It typically grows to a height of 15 meters (49 feet) and is characterized by a lignotuber, which allows it to regenerate after fire. The lower part of the trunk has rough bark, while the upper part features smooth greenish bark. Its leaves are lance-shaped to elliptical, and the white flowers, which are not particularly showy, appear in groups of nine to fifteen from February to May. The fruit is a sessile, cup-shaped or shortened spherical capsule.

Black Sallee is valued for its adaptability to various soil types and its ability to withstand cold conditions, making it suitable for cultivation in temperate regions. It is often used for reforestation projects, as windbreaks, and in ornamental plantings. This species requires full sun to part shade, medium water, and well-drained soils. It is relatively low-maintenance but can be susceptible to psyllids and other sap-sucking insects. Black Sallee is not typically known for aggressive roots or being problematic in gardens.CC BY-SA 4.0
