gumnuts on a eucalyptus tree...
They usually appear autumn/winter and turn from green to a woody brown...
If they are placed in a paper bag in a warm place, the gumnuts release seeds as they ripen...
I miss all the different gum nuts from when I lived in San Diego, and the fragrances of the various eucalyptus trees. The gum nuts look kind of like a cannon.

Oh Gemma the gum nuts are lovely, I have never seen them before.
Lovely!
Fascinating. And what do you do with the seeds? Are they edible or useful?
Excellent recording, such seeds I've never seen!

They look like a bunch of bells, so very pretty!
Such interesting looking seed pods. A great image.
Gumnuts are so neat! When I see them, they always remind me of The Gumnut Babies stories by May Gibbs.
Unique capture. Thanks for sharing.
