COOL PLANT ALERT ⚠️
Exocarpos cupressiformis, or native cherry, is an Australian root hemiparasite that draws nutrients from neighboring trees while supporting woodlands. Its scale-like leaves resemble cypress, and its edible red fruit, actually a swollen stem, provides a vital food source

Spent the last week deep in the Arthur's range of southwest Tasmania. By far one of the more rugged mountain ranges I have ever laid eyes on.

What a treat to experience such a wild place
