Culturally Modified Trees in Australia
I never knew that native Australians manipulated trees as they grew to communicate the location of resources and pathways.

Re: Culturally Modified Trees in Australia
Fascinating indeed. Great that the pastoralists are investigating Trees in Trees on their properties, and consulting with indigenous groups about them. Some of the photos in the articles you linked to are great. It looks like many of the host trees are reaching the end of their lives, so documenting these epiphytes now is really important.
