Beautiful Beech tree

A shot taken in 1991 when I lived in South Staffordshire.

Some big local trees

Photographed today on a walk to the village. With the current Covid situation we can't get out and about as much. Luckily there are some impressive trees on our doorstep!

Sycamore










Some impressive Limes near us too, albeit Tilia x europea



















A nice Ash tree by the side of the road





















And a nice healthy Conker tree. Many in the area are blighted by the leaf miner.

The Wolf on mount Philo

Wolf trees are those which survive separated from other trees-they are lone wolves.
Here's an interesting article I found about such a tree, a Sugar Maple that has survived all that nature could throw at it.
