Crown of a tree at Kensal Green cemetery in winter. The difference in colour between the trunk and the some of the branches is due to flaking bark on the branches, and older bark, that has not flaked off recently, on the trunk.

Trunk. From a tree at Hillier Arboretum, Hampshire, above the lake. As also seen in the next photograph below, and as is relatively common with Orientalis in Britain, the tree trunk does not show much evidence of the flaking bark for which the genus is known. However, even in such cases, the flaking bark is usually found on the branches and other younger wood.
