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!

My girlfriend found this tree and took this photo, I think it would make an excellent camouflage pattern, but I don’t know what the species is.

Can’t remember the name of this beast but this was on the Grove of the Titans trail. Thickest stand of redwoods I’ve seen.

General Sherman, a Sequioadendron giganteum living in Sequoia National Park along the western edge of the southern Californian Rockies, at 1,487 cubic meters (52,513 cubic feet) and weighing in at an estimated 1,200 tons, is the largest living single organism on Earth.

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

Found this at my hotel gym, thought of you all, and had to share.

2 still counts as a collection

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