I came upon this at school and was blown away by the papery bark. It looks like the tree got a horrible case of sunburn and is now peeling badly. Can anyone identify the species?
Great shot, I love the two trunks. I can't quite tell from this shot if it's the same, but we call the larger species of Melaleuca, Paperbarks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melaleuca
Can't see the leaves but the bark looks exactly like our very common paper eucalyptus tree in Australia...we have them everywhere literally, an it does shed just like sheets of paper, a great capture Allison :)
Haha...funny! This tree is near the maintenance shop which is probably the same one you saw as I noticed it walking over to MS today. Anyway, that landscape girl said (I forget here name.) there is another one right near Keith's office.
