Hi, Brooke!
I think so, at least it must be similar! Maybe that's why the walkerianas and nobiliors grow so well when mounted...if they're given the humidity they need....This cork layer is protective against seazonal fires, the tree branches become twisted because these fires burn their growing tips and the new growths begin in another direction, resulting in this look....

Thanks again to everybody who's enjoying the thread, I'm really happy you liked!!!!! There's more next weekend!!!
