While all trees have bud traces, including those in the Northern Hemisphere, eucalypts bud traces are the only ones that don't end in an actual bud."

I'm not sure about this.

Still, fascinating study. It may explain why topping eucs may not result in a failed tree.

The big question is: are all traces created equal? Do any end in a dormant bud, and how many, and where?

Have they learned anything new in the last 6 years?
