Who knew trees could get chapped skin? This one is on the lane-side property of an apartment building in Fairview, just west of Heather Street. It may be a paperbark maple, originally brought to the West from central China by the British at the beginning of the 20th Century. Or it may be some other sort of tree with similarly exfoliating bark. A tree like this is apparently popular as an ornamental plant, because people think it looks so darn pretty. I think it looks pretty darn painful. Click the image to enlarge it.
