Angophora robur, commonly known as the Sandstone Rough-barked Apple or the Broad-leaved Sandstone Apple',[1] is a tree species that is native to eastern Australia.
The tree typically grows to a height of 10 metres (33 ft) with grey shortly fibrous bark that is persistent throughout. Adult leaves are discolorous with a broad-lanceolate to ovate shape, the blade is 7 to 18 centimetres (3 to 7 in) long and 3 to 7.5 cm (1.2 to 3.0 in) wide.[2]
It has a limited distribution in a small area on the coast of northern [New South Wales]] along a sandstone belt running from near Glenreagh, north-west of Coffs Harbour.[1]
