This most magnificent tree is Native to Western Australia, it's known here as The Christmas Tree as it always comes out around Christmas. Each year I look for it and rejoice when I see it. I can remember as a child that they were everywhere and it saddens me that there are now so few.
The Christmas Tree is a semi parasite meaning that it partly lives off another root system mainly grasses which can be up to 150 metres away. What a wonderful spectacular tree, needs no decorations as it is a celebration itself. You can tell I guess that I love it !!!!
Thanks Lajla
ReplyDeleteI was poining them out to Gayle yesterday and saying we should get some photos soon. But then I remembered that she will be in Toowoomba!!
Try out Whiteman park. Some good ones there, plus blackboys.
