Inspirational Trees

lol, the tree surgeon must have had a hell of a ladder!! This branch was about 30 feet up above a steep bank. Guess he didn't like too many jins, but it's still natural. No wire unless he used a high wire :-)

Here are a few interesting trees.

Went out for a walk along the Orwell estuary today and took some photos. Black Poplar

Erosion of the bank around the same tree

Roots from the other side

An old Oak just further along.

Same tree

Shari on deciduous?

Eventually, erosion gets the better of them.

Outrageous. You're going to have to put the bark back on it immediately. [if I used smiley faces, I'd put one here, just to be safe]

It's a pity the author doesn't mention the species and the location (or maybe i couldn't find it).

But they remind me of the "Faux de Verzy", a genetic mutation of Beech (Fagus sylvatica) located in a very limited area of France. Some specimens can be found too in Germany (Süntel) and in Sweden (near Malmö).

Here is a site with photos :

I was just looking through this thread again from the beginning. I reccommend it as it is truley inspirational.

Some pictures from my last vacation

These shots look like the Grand Canyon?

Yes they are! South rim and about.
In 10 days I am flying there again, descending all the way down to the river and back. Should have some more photos!

Apologies for them being on their sides =)

saw this beast in Llangors in Wales, massive old oak tree about 20 yards from a river which I'm guessing has a tendancy to flood. My daughter for scale

Hi! All!

I thought this is inspirational (SALIX)

This is my area Bobby, you could have come for a cuppa.
Where exactly is this.

I would love to try and spell it but I'd probably offend. A posh hotel near Bwlch. Does trout fishing and whatnot on the road between abergafeny (sorry for the spelling) and Brecon. Llangors was the nearest place I could remember the spelling of. we were at the lake spreading my brother in law's ashes and stayed in the hote; ;ast night

Sounds like the Gliffaes Hotel. Closest i got to staying there was sleeping in the woods by the side of the road after a night out with no lift home.
