Pulled this from LinkedIn because it caught me off guard. Home owner said its “A Canary Island pine that was planted between Dominant Douglas fir. The fir’s were destroyed in a fire and the pine survived with damage”. Photo by Dan Wyatt. I still think it looks like one of those fake cell tower trees.

Found this randomly on reddit the other day. Someone in Florida found a palm tree growing through an oak tree. Both appear to be doing okay but wow!

Myself and another PlanIT Geo colleague were at the Fort Logan National Cemetery along with 200+ arborists, green industry professionals, and other volunteers to help prune, remove, inventory, and manage the trees at the cemetery. We were also able to plant 30+ trees! Saluting Branches does this every year nationwide so if you are at all interested in volunteering next year just head to https://www.salutingbranches.org/ to find out where your closest site is!

I'm sure many people have thoughts on Cottonwood trees like I do but there are many times that I cannot help but be in awe of their size. This 150 Fremont Cottonwood was once listed as the largest in the state of Utah and photographer/ tree explorer Brian Kelley was lucky enough to grab some photos of it in its declining health. Unfortunately has since been removed but we are lucky to have an archive of photos to see how grand it once was. https://www.gatheringgrowth.org/trees-of-significance/qsbvjckbuolh0ri3rna7z56r3umc8n

Pollarding

A few of us were chatting about the good bad and ugly about pollarding. I find it’s a good technique for the right situation, but few have been trained and experienced to execute the method well. Since I will soon be living in Europe where this technique is far more common, I’m posting a picture of the same pollarded Sycamore tree in my village from 120 years ago and present.
