Eucalyptus delegatensis is naturally found in Australia from NSW to Victoria and extending to Tasmania typically growing in cooler high altitude regions up to 1200m (3800ft). 

It prefers well drained moderately fertile deep soils on steep slopes with a southerly or easterly aspect in an open sunny position and is frost and drought tolerant. 

The Alpine ash is grown for its habit and is planted in large gardens, parks or botanical collections as a specimen tree. It is suitable for mountainous regions and establishes in 3-5 years and is long lived. Commercial uses of the timber include building frames, flooring, plywood and veneers. It is also used for pulp in the production of paper. ID 2815
