so good on so many levels, funny thing is that across the big pond they would scoff, but I sispect the Japanese would bow, funny old business perceptions.

I hesitated before putting this tree in here, but it survived 30yrs of gravel working, land is now reclaimed. Credit must be due to the shovel driver who first thought, "no, I'm not pushing it over".

No hesitation required Jack, that is a born survivor and a veteran if ever there was one! amazingly healthy crown given the water/soil regim changes it must have gon through.

 

I suspect its saving grace was being in a gravel seem and having deeply penetrating roots from the start:thumbup1:

I'm sure one of my pics of the concrete oak look very similar to your first one rob. Strangely very similar!

 

Few pics of a big leaning oak. Very much so. Bark has come off from the tension. Slowly falling over?
