|  Why is it so?? Ironbarks bleeding that is.
Probably a newbie question but a colleague and I are debating what and why Iron Barks "bleed" Without any apparent wounds? Help settle a bet!  Cheers. |

 The longer i am in the tree industry the more respect i get for trees. (they are not just lumps of wood with leaves, those buggers are smart) as for the derail, i just couldn't help myself i have impulse control issues

Ironbarks will "bleed" alot when suckering and on the way out. If you have a close look at the bark itself, you will notice plenty of crystalised sap of "kino" or what ever you call it within the bark. This is more so on grey ironbark. Broardleaf red iron bark does not bleed anywhere near as much, even under stress. Excalibur |
