Massive Tree

Pezzie — Mon, 03 Jun 2024 15:36:59 GMT

DH and I are visiting DD and her family in Georgia. Having a great time especially with our GS, who is five. I have to say that we haven't fallen into bed as exhausted as the last few days of trying to keep up with him. l😂

Anyway, I digress. We have been commenting on the massive trees that we are surrounded by, and I finally decided to take a pic of one on my walk this morning. The trees must be ancient, but so grand and powerful in its size.

Look at the size of the canopy! Amazing.

The biggest tree I ever saw was the banyon tree in Lahaina on Maui, which I think was destroyed in the fire. That tree was massive with roots coming down from the branches. So unique and so sad that it was destroyed along with the rest of the town.

Actually it has been reported that the Lahaina Banyon tree is showing signs of coming back from the fire.

FYI.........................

Hopes rise by survival of Lahaina’s banyan tree

After losing nearly 25,000 trees in the wildfire, 300 have survived including the famed banyan tree, and Maui finds hope.

Beautiful tree, but definitely not a conifer! Look up conifers and you'll see the big difference.

It reminds me of the tree in The Shawshank Redemption under which Morgan Freeman found the money Tim Robbins left him

Sadly I read in the newspaper a few years ago that the Shawshank movie tree, near Mansfield Ohio, toppled over in a storm and is now gone.
