Walking Trees

October Sunrise at Cremorne Gardens

In a recent blog, I wrote about the abundant fruit on all the wild trees this year. When in the ranger station last, I spoke to Shaun Burkey about it, to ask if it was as a result of last year's cold snap. Not at all, I learnt. Apparently, it is more likely to be as a result of the prolonged dry spell....even large trees are under stress through lack of water and so try to move to a better area by producing nuts/seeds. In effect they are "walking" away - in slow motion. It's not often I want rain, but I do now!
