%X Characteristics of trees tapped for sap by Petaurus australis were investigated at 113 localities in northeastern New South Wales. Trees preferentially tapped for sap by P. australis were smooth-barked eucalypts with relatively low cambial electrical resistance. Apart from a minimum stem diameter of about 30 em there was no selection of a particular tree diameter class for sap-tapping. Tapped tree wood characters indicated that about 20 days energy requirement for one P. australis was available from an average tree tapped for sap.
