this talk of eucalyptuses making noises is true. Ive heard some scary sounds then the branches of these trees sway...you hear creaks and maons...sound like its going to break ( and often does if it E. globulus). I also forgot to add to my first posting on this subject that the lupines also rattle when the seeds are mature and before the pod splits. It sounds like a babies rattle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------- "Its like trying to touch the sky but over look the sun........Can you feel the beat?" ---------------------Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam with Full Force---------------------------
