Naked trees
🍁❄️When deciduous trees are naked over winter, some spectacular bark is on display without the distraction of flowers and foliage.
Some of the trees to admire stunning bark include the twisting lines of mature Sweet Chestnut, the white peeling bark of the Betula papyrifera, and the smooth and peeling bark of the Watergum Tristaniopsis laurina.
Get amongst them at Cornwall Park, the Domain, Botanical Gardens, or even the Hamilton Gardens. They all provide you with fabulous opportunities to enjoy the bare trees and the awesomeness of their bark.
