Do ghost gums drop branches?

Absolutely. Many species of eucalyptus (gum trees) drop branches, and the ghost gum is notorious for doing this. Australians who travel the outback or go camping know better than to pitch a tent or leave a car parked beneath any gum tree, let alone a ghost gum. The branches they drop can be quite large, and are deadly for their weight.

What are the adaptations of a ghost gum tree in the desert?

The ghost gum is a species of Eucalyptus, and Eucalyptus trees are specially adapted to the dry Australian conditions. Ghost gums have wide, spreading canopies which redirect the limited rain that falls down the trunk to concentrate around the roots. The leaves of a ghost gum tree hang down, rather than horizontally, minimising evaporation and hence water loss (transpiration), as they are not as exposed to sunlight. The leaves usually have equal numbers of stoma on each side, unlike trees which hold their leaves horizontally - they tend to have all or most of their stoma on the lower side. The leaves also tend to have a thick, waxy coating which also minimises water loss. Ghost gums have characteristically white or grey trunks, which is more likely to reflect the sunlight, rather than absorb the sunlight like other species in more bushy areas do. Ghost gum roots stretch deep down into the earth to reach the underground water table.
