    A day to remember...

    There's no easy way to say this without it sounding like an admonition, which it isn't. Many different countries lost citizens in the attacks. We should be thinking of all of them, wherever we are from. Chris.

    Japanese Larch: Three Year Progression

    I love this tree. It is dripping with character, with lots of scars and deadwood and plenty of angularity. A literati must have some angularity in my book. I like the hanging branches, they really help to convey the impression of an ancient tree. Chris. PS I like your sense of humour... :)

    Scots Pine Literati

    The briefest of cursory glances down the tree forums shows plenty of people willing to post their trees. Something about a clever theory being spoiled by a plain fact springs to mind (Sorry Mr Huxley). I'll go away now and stop asking pertinent questions. Chris.

    Chinese Elm - Another Beat Up Survivor

    I'm a big fan of Chinese elms, the one here is simply wonderful. Deadwood and deciduous do mix. I look forward to seeing it in the future. Chris.
