Oak - Quecus rubra - northern red oak
probably over 200 years old - the blue thing is a 55 gallon barrel. (roughly 210 liters capacity for EU members) - truly an ancient specimen for the species.
at the end of the driveway of our farm, near Bangor Michigan.

Big, old oak in my yard. My favorite was our big weeping willow, until the neighbor's tree took it out his summer

 

[RKatzin]

There are many giant old Pacific Yew on my place, this is one of my favorite

But, this old Douglas Fir, with its 12in arm reaching out and grasping a huge craggy rock is my favorite tree.

Stopped by ma ol mate today and took its picture. Its the Pohutukawa... (NZ Christmas tree) ... Metrosideros excelsa...
They form multiple sub trunks from the main trunk. This one has 34 (I think. Had to count it from 3 sides and took an average)

Bad pic I know....but it's the best I could do without the snipers thinking I'm up to something...
Sweet looking trunks on the Taxus in the center, back of US Supreme Court Building.
There is an awesome Catalpa near the water that I want to get a pic of, but I always get the green light right there....some of you here, may know the one....

One of my fav trees close to home,

Melaleuca preissiana

It's not a good photo, I know....
I'll try to get a better one next time I get over there....
But its not everyday that I see a Raft style tree in nature, let alone on some commercial property.

 

[fredman]

Yeah don't see that often. Very cool.

This is an oak at our local park. The base is almost a perfect circle and the main branches are so random.

Here are a couple west of Boulder, behind the first Flatiron.


Looks like a Douglas Fir


And a twin trunk literati Ponderosa Pine.

I pass this one everyday, and without fail it gets the creative juices flowing. It just stands out as I travel down the street. It looks to me its been bonsaied... as usual the photo don't really do it the justice it deserves.... (but we all have the same problem)

Monterey Cypress, single tree, cascade?

 

[fredman]

WoW there is some serious jinning going on.....

 

[Anthony]

By next month I can show you some colour, but for now, another type of Crape myrtle.
This is the tree form from India.
Imagine, loaded in flowers.
Good Day
