We found my twin...A MALLEE TREE. The mallee tree has no trunk on top of the ground but its trunks is hidden under ground. This is called a Tuber. This is because it has more room to store its water and if there is a fire the branches will burn but new ones will grow from the Tuber. We found over 5 speceis by their leaves and colour. But yesterday we found the most pretty one so far. It had a nice golden trunk and leaves that in the sunlight look silver.
Well that Mallee tree certainly is a lot different to the one that Dad posted the photo of. It's golden trunk is beautiful. I'm glad you found a different species. It was interesting to learn that they store water underground in their Tuber.
