Split tree

This tree seems to have twisted and split right u the middle of the trunk, but still seems to be growing!

May have been struck by lightning

It reminds me of the mistletoe bedecked apple tree beside the croquet lawn at Morley.

Great find, Julienne.

It looks like two dancing trunks

Trees are remarkable aren't they? Great find

[Lois]

Amazing tree!

[Rick]

Wow. That does seem sort of strange that both sides continue to grow. Great shot.

[Peter Day]

I hope you are right.

Looks like trees dancing with their arms in the air

@amfrumbiddivurd - possibly, but I can't see any visible charring

[Julienne Jones]

@jeff - yes that was certainly a tree character

[Julienne Jones]

@yeshanghai - yes we actually had some blue sky for a change

[Julienne Jones]

@shirleybankfarm - yes she certainly is amazing. Resilience and determination to survive

[Julienne Jones]

@jomo @christophercox - yes it does look like some sort of bizarre dance

[Julienne Jones]

[Julienne Jones]

@loweygrace - yes it's amazing that it is still surviving

[Julienne Jones]

@rickster549 - I don't know how long ago it split but it looks as if it were some years ago and yet it's still growing

[Julienne Jones]

@peterday - well it seems to be hanging on!
