Mallee is an Aboriginal name for a group of hardy eucalypts which grow to a height of 2 – 9 metres and have many stems arising from a swollen woody base known as a lignotuber. They have an umbrella-like leaf canopy and the trees shade 30-70% of the ground.

During extremely dry times, Aboriginal people know how to extract water from the blue mallee’s root system. One way was to dig a trench around the base of the tree to locate the roots, which ran out from just under the surface of the soil. They then removed the roots of the tree, cut them into pieces up to a metre long and stood them against the tree. The water draining from these pieces was collected. (Aust Nat Botanic Gardens)
