Blue gum timber, particularly the rapidly grown plantation material, is unlikely to perform well in exterior exposures due to its susceptibility to fungal and termite attack. Untreated blue gum is classified as Durability Class 2 for above-ground exposures and Durability Class 3 for in-ground contact, making it less resistant to decay compared to other timbers.

Southern blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) is native to southeastern Australia, but has been widely planted globally. It is characterised by rapid growth under a variety of conditions. More recently, it has been extensively planted in southern Australia to produce chips for the pulp and paper industry.
