Photo-timelines

treeblog photo-timelines allow those who are curious to see how certain tree species develop from seed to maturity; at least, that is the long-term aim. Presently, the oldest trees are now in their third year. To see how a particular treeblog tree has developed, click on the corresponding link below. The highlighted boxes link to the photo-timeline of the tree / seedling that, within its cohort, offers the best look at the species' development - so if you only look at one photo-timeline, make sure it's a highlighted one!

I'd guess that reputation exists not because of how well the wood burns but because that tree has fire-resistant bark or seeds that germinate enthusiastically after an episode of fire disturbance (e.g. Eucalyptus regnans). There are over 700 known species of Eucalyptus though!

I saw a longer version of this some years ago when buying our first woodburning stove in Norfolk it mentioned other woods eg blackthorn and I've looked for it ever since. We lost a eucalyptus due to last winter and had to cut down two more the year before, which has been drying since then. It doesn't seem to burn too enthusiastically I don't know if this is because of the time it takes to season or because of its reputation of regenerating after forest fires, anybody have any idea?

Thanks Albert. If Trees For Life can meet their goal of restoring 2,300 km2, that'll be something!

Love your description: "...jaw-droppingly, breathtakingly, heart-stoppingly awesome." From the pics here, they look like something out of fairy tales. Good to hear that they're bringing them back (for now, at least). Great article and thanks for all the pics!
