The Red Tingle (Eucalyptus jacksonii) in Walpole Nornalup National Park of south west Western Australia is one of the tallest trees in the state and can measure up to 24 metres round at the base and grow to a height of 75 metres.

The trees often have shallow root systems and grow a buttressed base. Forest fires often act to hollow out the base of the trees creating a large cavity. They are now found primarily in Walpole-Nornalup National Park and in a few isolated sites outside the park in the Walpole area.
