Plant Trees

The true
meaning of
life is to
plant trees
under whose
shade you
do not expect
to sit.
...Nelson Henderson

This is one giant and impressive tree. Just take a look at the flag/flag pole on the left. It takes up the entire front yard and dwarfs the house. I am not sure of the type of tree or how old it is. I might have to stop by and ask the homeowner. I couldn't even fit the entire height of the tree in the frame.

***I stopped by and found out the tree is over 200 years old and is a Deodar Cypress. It is now considered a heritage tree.***

Pretty on black.

Thanks so much! I stopped by and asked about the tree today. It is a Deodar Cypress Tree and over 200 years old!!! It is now considered a heritage tree. It is NOT indigenous to our area so it is a one of a kind. They have an arborist check it every year.
