Eucalyptus mooreanais naturally found in northern Western Australia growing on the ridges of the Kimberley Ranges and is regarded as rare and threatened in its natural habitat.

It prefers an open to expose sunny position and grows in very well drained moderately fertile sandy quartz-based stony soil and is drought resistant but frost tender.

Mountain White Gum is grown for its foliage and its attractive reddish buds. It is not commonly cultivated in urban gardens but is planted in botanical collections or use in revegetation programs. It is suitable for inland and low-mountain regions and establishes in 3-5 years and is long-lived. It is also planted in bushland settings for attracting birds or is used as a windbreak. ID 3316
