Northwest Wanderer Posted May 13, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2016 Amazing. I've never seen a tree like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted May 13, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted May 13, 2016 Thanks Bill, as you would imagine it is even more amazing in person, it is ideally situated by the river and so has never been affected by drought. It is also sheltered from damaging winds by a nice little forest of related species, so it has been able to grow very large and, though it must be very old, it is not showing any of the signs of the general wear and tear that one would expect of a eucalyptus of it's age and size. I'm glad you liked it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
