Yes, it is a redgum. But my interest is the strange pattern. I assume it was done by a person if there is no chance it could be natural. Other insects produce strange patterns on the bark of trees.

Eucalyptus sp.

Maybe reclassify it as a tree, and see if any of our myrtaceologists recognise it.

I did take a photo of the canopy. I will add it. I go past this tree a lot and I think I would have noticed these in the past, so have only appeared in the last 2 months if that helps at all. :)

Maybe they are trunk buds, used by the plant to sprout if a fire destroys the current foliage and twigs?

Hi Don. I couldn't get in - they were really hard. Like plugs make out of wood.
