Usually seen on river flats between 12 and 20 metres tall, though exceptional specimens exceed 35 metres tall. One of the habitats west of Sydney is on poorly drained alluvial flats near the Hawkesbury/Nepean river system. The explorer Allan Cunningham remarked that presence of these trees indicated fertile areas for agriculture. Adult leaves are similar in shape to eucalyptus leaves; opposite on the stem, oblong or ovate. 7 to 10 cm long and 3 to 5 cm wide. The specific epithet subvelutina is from Latin, and it translates to "almost velvety".[1] Similar in habit to Angophora floribunda, however, it has dense more erect foliage, and the gumnuts are covered in felty reddish hairs. Recently, genetic work has been published showing Angophora to be more closely related to Eucalyptus than Corymbia, and the name Eucalyptus subvelutina has been proposed for this species if it were to be placed in the eucalypt genus. . The 1889 book 'The Useful Native Plants of Australia’ records that "The Rev. Dr. Wolls states that these "apple trees" are sometimes cut down to keep cattle alive in dry seasons, as the leaves are relished by them."[2] References1. ^Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, {{ISBN|978-0-7318-1211-0}} page 24 {{Taxonbar|from=Q4163436}}{{Australia-rosid-stub}}{{Myrtaceae-stub}}{{tree-stub}}2. ^{{cite book | author=J.
