Red Gum

This is a tree I think we don't see in the mountains. It was different enough to attract my attention.

Sydney Red Gum - Angophora costata

    Interesting use of the double-negative in your text this morning.

    I think Red-Bums are the variety that drop limbs is the tree is under stress of any sort. Internal protection, I suppose.

    Interesting double negative fixed. My ability to make typos is notorious.

    I've not seen that type of gum tree here - but love the texture of the bark.

    There's nothing better than feeling the smooth limbs and trunk of a gum tree after it has shed its bark.
    Did you shimmy up and have a feel?

    There are quite a few red gums on the central coast too. Must be a coastal variety.
