What causes strange damage to Tree Bark
Hi All
My family were curious about this and I vowed to find out..... We recently spent our holiday near Antibes on the Cote D'Azur. One day one of us noticed that many of the tree trunks were patterned in a way similar to military style camouflage fabric. On subsequent days we began to take note that wherever we went in the region, the trees had the same pattern and on closer examination we decided that something is eating away at the various layers of bark to create this effect. It is my opinion that it is probably caused by insect lavae or such like. If you would like to see this I've posted a picture on: http://members.fortunecity.com/bytor1/treebark.htm My son was especially interested and quite concerned as to the long-term effect it would have on the trees in the area. If you have a chance, please do look I would really like to hear your opinions. Many Thanks Mark Phillips |
