My best tree

[David oakman]

Today i checked my metasequoia glyptostroboides its about 30 years old try and sit under one and look up lovely. anouther tree i like are my old hornbeam try and look up and you cant see the sky and trunks with character.Last year i planted a Taxodium on an island in the middle of a lake a shame i wont be alive to see its full glory.

I am sorry you will have to wait, i have not got a didgi camara yet we are very slow here in the countryside only just learnt to use the computer. out of interest my employers bought me the Taxodium as a present when i told them what a lovely tree they were.

So where are the pics? Do we use our imagination?

Perhaps I'll pop over and see you David, then we can post a few pics in the future.......

PS Were you working there a few years back when we came in to remove one of the "Three Sisters" from the lake, using a crane, a boat, then a very large pump to drain said lake? That was an epic job.

No i was not here then but i know all about the three sisters oaks. It would be nice to talk to you about the missing tree and how much work it took. The stump has Armillaria and it runs along all exposed roots around the pond, one is doing well with lovely running buttresses and the outher is standing on a stilt effect on decayed buttresses.Oh the joy of looking after historic veteran trees.
