Not seen anything like these before. On a gum tree trunk. Borers? something else? About 20 of them but all irregular, quite hard.

Hi Don. I couldn't get in - they were really hard. Like plugs make out of wood.

Maybe they are trunk buds, used by the plant to sprout if a fire destroys the current foliage and twigs?

I did take a photo of the canopy. I will add it. I go past this tree a lot and I think I would have noticed these in the past, so have only appeared in the last 2 months if that helps at all. :)

Maybe reclassify it as a tree, and see if any of our myrtaceologists recognise it.
