I have posted this up for the international guys to have a look. Gums are a unique tree :aussie:

I noticed the other day several Gum trees that look several years dead but are now re sprouting with the heavy rain.

Oh how I do love the aspects that deadwood on gums brings to our bush. Even completely dead, they can be exceptional.

I have a few I like around here, but none compare to that. Stunning. :o
