strangebrew Posted September 25, 2004 I found these plants recently. They were in the same area and look the same. They're T.pach but there's something a bit weird with them as you can see, almost a bit montrose. The motherload!! :cool: :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted September 25, 2004 wow what a find! Is this on someones property or have they gone weedy out on a dirt track or something along those lines??? lol it's climbing that gum like a snake, pretty impressive shots s-brew, thanks for sharing I especially like the small new growth forming on the tip, looks like a graft but no cut. hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absinthe Posted September 25, 2004 Wow, that's pretty amazing stuff. I love that tree climbing one! I wonder why they get segmented like that. I have an unidentified Tricho that has done the same. I wish I found it! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smogs Posted September 25, 2004 perhaps they get segmented to make weak spots so they break off and grow elsewhere... that would explain how they are taking over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rev Posted September 25, 2004 I would assume they grow over trees like that just like theyd grow up down or oven hilly terrain It must be and arid garden given the circles of stones around the base the daisies ..oh yeah the hose too They look so good, so right amongst the mallees especailly as natural multistem formations The segmentation to me is highly suggestive of past tip damage possibly a hard frost or maybe insect or other damage If they flower and theyre readily accessible to you plz let us know stunning im using that big pic as my desktop wallpaper now :D [ 25.

Flip Posted September 25, 2004 The segmentation is at a regular intervals so one can assume that it's seasonal damage most likely from rain or excessive mosture that allowed bacteria/insect/snails to damage the inner center of the tip (topmost) part of the plant. very nice picture. methinks that there's "gold in them dar hills" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
