This is probably why they are known as gum trees - this is Eucalyptus Maculata - a spotted gum - it is one of the gume that koalas like, although not too many koalas are left in Sydney. The wood of this gum is very wavy and tough - it is used for flooring and axe handles.
I always wondered about the name, and never thought of sap.
