Growth Habit
Mature Eucalyptus morrisbyi individuals grow between 6 and 12 metres in height. The upper trunk has smooth bark of a light white-grey or pink-grey appearance. If drought stress or fire are severe, lignotuber reshoots may form a mallee growth habit. The species' juvenile leaves are rounded, unstalked and glaucous. The adult leaves are arranged alternately and are 5 to 10 cm long and 1.5 to 4 cm wide. They are stalked and less glaucous than the juveniles.

Famous quotes containing the words growth and/or habit:
“A revolution is not the overturning of a cart, a reshuffling in the cards of state. It is a process, a swelling, a new growth in the race. If it is real, not simply a trauma, it is another ring in the tree of history, layer upon layer of invisible tissue composing the evidence of a circle.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
“When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
