Thanks Eric, what type of trees are they as I assume 'Big Bird' and 'Big Fella' are nicknames? Great bark texture and I love the gnarly shapes at the top.As you can see by my paintings I LOVE that in ancient trees. Thanks also for your feedback...we need to work more on our Creative Native website. You know how it is when you are juggling so many things.....Fran PS I will have to figure out how to reach others on this site in other parts of the world to find out about their trees. Posting threads etc is new to me. Fran |

It must smell wonderful too....I wouldn't have known it was a Eucalytus from the trunk. I only know the eucalytus that is in California, native or non-native I do not know.....

How many m3 do you think this bird tree is? It is big, but not by NZ standards. Our largest tree is only 51.2m in height. Has a 13.77m girth . The trunk volume alone is 250m3. And is 2500 +/- years old. Amazing for little ol' NZ. |

I must get to NZ with our Creative-Native Project. Those two trees would be magnificent and challenging to capture in my painting. Thanks! Fran Hardy Fine Artist Creative-Native Project The Creative-Native Project I will share this youtube on my blog. And btw if you know of any non-profits of groups that would be interested in our Creative-Native Projects that consist of documentaries and educational programs as well as curated exhibitions in NZ or Australia drop me an email. franhardy@franhardy.com Fran The Creative-Native Project: For Tree Lovers Like Me posted your youtube on Bird Tree with commentary and my latest painting, a sycamore on my blog.
