Under Blue Gums continued..
I’ve got quite acquainted with the trees, stumps, and what few plants survive beneath the Bluegums, in the nearby ‘forest’, here in Montagu.
I have newfound respect for Bluegums; I never realised our beekeeping industry is dependent on them for survival!
I’m intrigued by these stones that somehow accumulate at the bases of these trees.
I was erm stumped as to why some trees were shedding their bark..
I looked up, and you can see the bark peeling off.
I then saw the cause- they’d been ring-barked!
