The Magic Gum: the million homes tree house

$100.00

This large eucalypt stands half in imagination, half in reality, in vivid colours that memory gives to rich experiences. Like Blyton’s enchanted trees, it seems magical because it is an incredible home to a million life forms, from the roots to the trunk and bark to the canopy. I have a tree like this in my garden and it is loved by birds, mammals and invertebrates.
