It is said that when a large tree is under stress such as during drought conditions, it drops copious amounts of seed to ensure the survival of the species. We had 10 years of drought and this wonderful old Eucalypt tree in the paddock threw out a ring of seeds a couple of years ago. We now have an almost complete ring of sapling trees all growing fast. The juvenile leaves of many Eucalypts are a different colour to the adult foliage, hence the very blue colour of the sapling leaves in this picture.
