The branches are full of gum nuts in the leaves

It's tall like me and the leaves are up high

The trunk is crusty and holds koalas

The roots are long and messy like my room

The leaves are long and skinny and green like Shrek's face

Koalas eat in the trees and make their homes

Birds make nests in gum trees

Gum trees have flowers in spring and summer that are pink red orange yellow or white

Gum trees are old like my dad they have seen better days
