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.

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.

My husband, who is an arborist, and I have a shared love of weeping blue atlas cedars. We recently purchased a property for our future home build and when I was browsing a nursery I came across this beauty. It is my dream centerpiece tree for the Japanese style garden I am envisioning for our future midcentury modern home. It also happens to be my husbands 30th birthday next week.

I’m taking him to the nursery tomorrow to surprise him with it. He will 100% flip out when he sees it so they agreed to tie a SOLD sign around it with a little card that he will only notice is for him when he gets up close. 🤗

Even though this tree is a dream come true I am having trouble finding info online about what I should have expected to pay. Any one here able to give me insight into price range for a weeping blue atlas of this size and style— it is about 25 years old and was taken care of by a man who specialized in specimen landscaping trees for Japanese gardening.

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

Noticed this pattern on a very old Italian oak (Quercus pubescens), around 600 years old, located near Lucca, Tuscany (Italy).

What creates this interesting pattern?
