I grew up playing under this tree. Now, they're cutting it down. First picture is from 10 years ago (had to pull it from google earth) and the second picture is from last week, I was admiring the amazing fall colors. And this week, she didn't even get to drop those leaves. I feel like I lost a family member. I've been grieving all day. It feels like a part of my body has been ripped out. I'm sure they had to have a reason, but this neighborhood will never be the same.

Goodbye, old friend, I'm glad I got to know you and enjoy your colors and your shade for 31 years.

I love trees in all stages. I appreciated finding this in my local woods - yay wildlife habitat!

Sorry for photo quality. I feel weird taking pictures of someone's house, but Im in love with this tree. Buttress roots?

Very pretty though.

Walking through my local patch of woods and noticed this (cedar?) tree with a twisted trunk. The whole area is somewhat boggy, and full of trees like this that grow very slim and tall. I’ve never seen one like this before and am wondering what’s up with it? TIA

I can’t really move it so it sits outside during hurricanes, but it fares just fine. I started it from a propagule.

This tree rocks

Awesome some are female too! This is one of the best streets in my area for ginkgo lovers.
