Interesting Biomechanics

Here's a Beech with pretty amazing branch grafts.

It looks as if two smaller lateralls are embracing the larger mast branch.

 

Is this a case of self support or just bizarre space sharing.

 

The Arch is what's left of the gateway (built in 1766) into the residence of William Pitt, 1st Earl of Chatham & Brittish Prime minister;

 

As you can see, the Tree is forcing out the brick work to the right.

The structure is going to be subject of a moving or repair project.

 

Our spec was just an aerial inspection and removing the significant deadwood directly above the Arch and enclosure.

 

 

So, which came first.....................the Tree or the Arch?
