Happy #thicktrunktuesday from this magnificent eucalypt in Alice Springs

Eucalypt: no bridge no thing of steel wrought by human hand taproot crane no weight lifted a guardian, gentle on the land pillars holding up the sky growing crooked standing strong born from red earth and the Mother’s song River Red Gums #ThickTrunkTuesday pic: TreeProject

The operculum (bud cap) is a defining feature of eucalypts—so iconic it’s in the name Eucalyptus, meaning "well covered"! 🌿 It protects young flowers and evolved independently in both Eucalyptus and Corymbia. Read more on our Instagram or Facebook today! #LoveAGum

Why apply for a $25K Dahl Fellowship? 🌿 Just ask 2025 Fellow Jess Harwood, who’s using comics to educate and inspire Australians about our iconic eucalypts. Got a bold idea? Applications are open now 👉 eucalyptaustralia.org.au/fellowships/ #LoveAGum #DahlFellowship

🌿 Gumnuts: Sessile vs Pedicellate 🌿 Pedicellate gumnuts hang on their own little stalks (pedicels) from a group stalk (peduncle). Sessile gumnuts have no individual stalks—they attach directly to the group stalk. A handy clue for ID! #LoveAGum
