But I think I want to revisit that a little. I do have some decent photographs of them on posted elsewhere, and I'll add those if I can. Yes. But I think I want to revisit that a little.

If so, you could send the link along to next month's Festival of the Trees -- see http://festivalofthetrees.wordpress.com for details. (And if not, you still have a couple weeks until the deadline for submissions.) Anthropomorphic old trees are the best, aren't they? Have you blogged about those oaks, Laura?

There are a couple of huge oaks (white oaks?) in Tate, Georgia, not far from here, and there is a gargoyle-esque old man growing forth naturally from the trunk of one. This also got me to thinking about the disappearance of chestnut trees and something I heard about them reappearing. a student of mine a couple of years ago, a 14 year old girl, was obsessed with those trees and taught me so much about them. Thank you all for these images, thoughts, and all this information. I can’t believe I missed this.

Big trees, ... many big trees. It has been more than a few years since I visited Ricketts Glen SP to look at the grand old hemlocks. I hope they've survived the adelgid.

I enjoyed the section on the services provided by older trees. Thank you for linking to the summary of the lecture about the Sarajevo war and urban trees.
