Erica Belt Located immediately above the tree line from 3,400m to 3,800m, is a belt of heather made up of species of the Erica and Phillippa genera, dominated specifically by Erica arborea (tree heath), a shrub common throughout the world that grows tostaggering proportions in Bale – up to 5m on the edge of the tree line. These forests are a fairytale wood of giant heather dressed in moss and old man’s beard (a lichen). These trees are highly endangered and quite rare in Ethiopia. #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹ሀገሬ #oromotiktok❤️💚❤️ #ethiopian_tik_tok🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 #visitOromia #landoforigin #balemountains #ethiopia #Bale #balemountainsbrillianttours #Balemountainsnationalpark @Melal Gemechu @Rise Up Hiking @AKASH_HABESHA 🐝
