Grasstrees


In a section of the highway between Perth and Cervantes is a field full of grasstrees. These are odd plants. Taking often more than a year to germinate and growing about a centimeter a year, these plants with grassy fronds on the top and tree-like trunks below are very common in the perth area. Because they grow so slowly, the ones in cities are transplants. We see trucks hauling them about nearly everyday.
