Common Name: Yellow Tingle
Species: Eucalyptus guilfoylei
Yellow Tingle is rarely commercially available because the species generally occurs in areas that are now in conservation reserves. In the cool, wet forests between Walpole and Denmark on Western Australia's south coast, three species of Eucalypt seek refuge from the drying conditions that have seen most of the ancient rainforest relics lost. As such, the Tingles have a limited natural occurrence. The General Store has been fortunate enough to access some Yellow Tingle timbers felled over 15 years ago for power lines. The Yellow Tingle can reach up to 400 years old. It is currently illegal to fell all species of Tingles.
