Not sure about WA, though.<BR/>I remember it from Victoria - The Grampians - where it was the favourite food tree of the feral deer. All the trees were nibbled up from the base to deer-mouth height. They looked very ornamental, lolly-pop shaped like that.<BR/>Hunters liked to use that sign to tell them that there were feral deer about. But that is another story.<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-33059119462448456312008-07-22T14:21:00.000+10:002008-07-22T14:21:00.000+10:00No one we get here but our backyard/hill has plent...No one we get here but our backyard/hill has plenty of Native Cherry.Mosurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786494432479216149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-91118332880060203682008-07-22T13:49:00.000+10:002008-07-22T13:49:00.000+10:00Hi Chai.I meant to ask a question: "Are you famili...Hi Chai.<BR/>I meant to ask a question: "Are you familiar with the Exocarpus ...?"<BR/>Sorry if I confused you.<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-10976495310680130462008-07-22T10:47:00.000+10:002008-07-22T10:47:00.000+10:00Hi ChaiAs it is a "root-parasite", it is...Hi Chai<BR/><BR/>As it is a "root-parasite", it is not growing "on" another plant or tree (as Mistletoes do). Are familiar with the Exocarpus genus (known in eastern Australia by names like "Cherry Ballart" or "Native Cherry"). These plants have soft foliage, resembling a conifer (in general terms). They tend to be small trees. Those plants are also in the same family, and also are root parasites. They usually grow close to a Eucalypt tree. <BR/>Where my photo was taken, there were many large Eucalypts, and the plant could easily have got its roots down, and made contact with the roots of the tree. I understand the roots burrow into the roots of the Eucalypt, but forgive me, I have never dug one up to check exactly how they interact.<BR/><<BR/>Good question.<BR/><<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-65511455199897458622008-07-22T02:54:00.000+10:002008-07-22T02:54:00.000+10:00Hi Denis, What host plant does this native currant...Hi Denis, <BR/><BR/>What host plant does this native currant grow on?<BR/><BR/>Curious, <BR/>ChaiTsun-Thai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841401328312859856noreply@blogger.com
