@seacreature@meotzi@beckyk365@anniesue oh gawd, now I've started something I do t know the answer to! A quick read of google told me this... " All mature eucalypts put on an annual layer of bark, which contributes to the increasing diameter of the stems. In some species, the outermost layer dies and is annually deciduous, either in long strips or in variably sized flakes"
As I looked at the trees yesterday I got the feeling they were growing out of their skins...I'd never thought of that before...
Random wandering of the mind... 😄
Haha! a wandering mind can be a dangerous thing! I was picturing a tree size skin laying at the foot of the tree. Hey it's Australia, all sorts of crazy things grow over there!
@narayani Thank you for all that detailed info. Very interesting ... and some interesting comments and questions that followed! Enjoyed this thread and banter!
