This is one of the commonest native trees, but few people notice them. In summer, they are covered with a profusion of leaves: <img src="http://www.compunicate.com/Lamma/29/ch1-tn.jpg" border=1> The stems are quite thick at the base but taper quickly at the end, and this, together with a rather gnarled and knotty appearance, give a kind of "fairy-tale tree" impression. <img src="http://www.compunicate.com/Lamma/29/ch2-tn.jpg" border=1> In winter, they lose their leaves, and are more conspicuous due to their mass of bare branches. <img src="http://www.compunicate.com/Lamma/29/ch4-tn.jpg" border=1> <img src="http://www.compunicate.com/Lamma/29/ch3-tn.jpg" border=1> These were taken around Pak Kok |
