I love all our native trees

[Bretrick]

Gum Trees have started shedding their bark covering.
A process called decorticating.
In particular at this time of year, Lemon Scented Gum Trees - Corymbia citriodora, are putting on a display of this shedding.




The bark being shed is less than half a millimetre thick.

after a rain ~ you can smell the gums from about a Km away ….
