      Quite a lot of trees do as a natural process (you'd be familiar with ash or silver maple, for example); others simply from the growing/expansion (eg oak and beech) and then there are others that will shed only when under stress (pines, for example)... but I have to say, there is something special about the eucalypts and angophoras and their striptease...

    2. Last night I tried to think of a tree I know that sheds bark, but couldn't think of it. Today I remember: ironwood.

  4. It was one of the great surprises to European naturalists when they first began to examine the flora of Australia to discover trees that shed their bark rather than their leaves as is customary at temperate latitudes. Soon the full blaze of fall colours will arrive here.

  7. we love the different hues in that bark. It seems like a lot of the birch trees around here do a lot of peeling.
