Tylecodon paniculatus is a thickset, robust succulent dwarf tree up to 2.5–3 m tall, with very fat stems with usually well branched rounded crown. The single main trunk and branches are covered with mustard-yellow to olive-green bark peeling in papery semi-translucent sheets.
The Indian elm is a large deciduous tree, about 20–25 m tall (rarely over 30 m), with a broad crown featuring several ascending branches. Bark is grey in colour, covered with blisters, peeling in corky scales on old trees.
In arboriculture, the term “exfoliating bark” describes the natural process and condition of the bark peeling-away from a tree trunk, typically in large pieces that remain partially attached to the trunk until such time as they are completely detached by the elements or the eventual and subsequent exfoliation of additional layers of bark ...
In older trees, the bark is white, commonly brightly so, flaking in fine horizontal strips to reveal a pinkish or salmon-colored inner bark. [10] It often has small black marks and scars. In individuals younger than five years, the bark appears a brown red color [4] with white lenticels, making the tree much harder to distinguish from other ...
Frost crack or Southwest canker [1] is a form of tree bark damage sometimes found on thin barked trees, visible as vertical fractures on the southerly facing surfaces of tree trunks. Frost crack is distinct from sun scald and sun crack and physically differs from normal rough-bark characteristics as seen in mature oaks , pines , poplars and ...
The bark on mature trees is a shiny yellow-bronze which flakes and peels in fine horizontal strips. [ 2 ] [ 10 ] The bark often has small black marks and dark horizontal lenticels . [ 7 ] After the tree reaches a diameter greater than 1 ft (0.30 m) the bark typically stops shredding and reveal a platy outer bark although the thinner branches ...
It can grow 10–20 ft or more with a spread of 1 ⁄ 3 to 2 ⁄ 3 the height. It is a very slender tree with few branches as well as leaves.The petiolar-rachis is characteristically long and functions as a cladophyll. it has a white or yellow-colored peeling off bark.
As trees mature the trunks and branches take on a sculptural quality with long longitudinal, irregular ridges and valleys. Along with this undulating trunk, large flakes of the bark peel off or decorticate (hence the species name decorticans). The peeling tan to brown bark is eventually shed revealing the dark green, "immature" trunk beneath.
