The Australian native broadleaf paperbark tree is an invasive pest in the Everglades of Florida! Five of these photos are in my backyard hehhehheeee.
Five of these photos cannot be in your backyard, they are here.
Hmmmm, the bark is somewhat reminiscent of our birches but the flowers are very different!
COol backyard!
Are those white bottle brush looking things from that tree? I love the paper bark!
they are a wonderful tree. Tea tree is call such because the settlers used to make tea from the leaves....
No, they are HERE BoiledEggInADeckchair!
The paperbarks do cool down the backyard in Summertime Mary Stebbins Taitt :)
Yes, those are plucked from the trees you can see in the last photograph Red Mojo! It takes a bit of climbing to reach them but Jack loves to eat them!
The bark makes good compost! There will be Tea Trees posted later Simon ;)
Q: What kind of books to trees read?
A: Paperbarks! (drum fill)
:)
The photo with the hole in the ceiling reminds me of my flat.
Tony LaRocca's joke needs landfill not drum fill hee hee.
Hhehehheee, Modroom liked Tony's joke!
Insects must think that hole is like a skylight!
Hi Simon! It’s common for Melaleucas to be called 'Teatrees’ however more commonly known as ‘Paperbarks’. The term 'Tea Tree' is more commonly used with the related genus Leptospermum which has very different flowers and leaves. The Leptospermums were used for making tea and the Melaleucas for wrapping things in the bark. My photos of those ones won’t be posted for a while yet … :)
PS: The settlers probably made 'tea' out of anything that didn't make them sick ;)
If you wrote on the bark, would you be called a "PaperbaRk Writer?
Yes Ces! Hhehehheheee. We all try it here when kids :))
