Arbutus Bark Peeling
From our deck and from the office*, we love to watch the sculptures change daily on this Arbutus tree.
The photos below show the tree the first day of peeling, and three days after the peeling began.
It takes about one week for the south side to completely peel.

*This Arbutus is beside a small Maple where we sometimes see an owl.
