Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version

[arb culture]

old age, i guess, just fell apart, the remains are still there.

 

That is very sad. From the picture it looks like the tree had plenty of life left in it.

heres another elm that I came across on purely high street right next to a nice black poplar as well.

Thought I'd pop this small but great vet oak in here. I drive past it a fair bit it's on a golf course and I've been meaning to get pics. This thread prompted that.

Thanks steve

Thinking about what photos I've got on various devices and what makes a remarkable tree, I started to consider how trees grow, their defence mechanisms and strategies, their size and some species longevity. The more I learn the more I personally think they all remarkable in one way or another.

 

Apologies if this is a bit outside the purpose of the thread, but maybe food for thought and another perspective on remarkable trees!

Yes its amazing how trees grow!

Found this sweet chestnut at work this week.

Great tree! I bet that's home to more than a few beasties.
