Comments : |
Storm damage to the crown is clearly visible resulting in a significant loss of the upper trunk and branches. For years the tree was thought to be dying, but in November 2013, there is lots of new growth visible. This tree is 100m to the west of the Bird Tree. The Hulk is about 60m closer to the Bird Tree. This means that within about a 125m radius of the "Bird Tree" there are four enormous Blackbutts scoring over 650 Points. The four are the: Bird, Benaroon, Hulk and Bronze trees. |
