Not all deciduous trees have home addresses in cool temperate parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
This one’s home is in a very particular part of tropical Australia.
This individual is circa 750 years old, weighs 36 tonnes, and is thriving in a place with quite the “wrong” climate, 3200 kilometres from home.
Even more amazingly, to get “here” it survived uprooting, followed by almost certainly the longest road trip ever undertaken by a large, living tree.
All will be revealed in the next post, which will answer this question: how – in its best interests – did people fool this tree?
(in Perth’s Kings Park, which is bigger than New York’s Central Park…and also much richer, botanically)
