Leucosidea sericea bark colours

Aged and frowzy, this Leucosidea sericea stem shows how gradual and uneven flaking of bark strips can impact on appearance. Artists fond of capturing a multitude of observed shades in the mixes on their palettes should have fun with this tree.

If the bark looks like this, the wood must be old?

A dry leaflet, pale and toothed, is captured on the stem surface in picture near the base.
