This amazing, enduring old tree, home and supplier of food to many, withstood the forces of nature that took many healthy trees down recently.
Fibrous and punky,
Withstanding hurricane winds,
Holey tree stands tall
And yet, this slim tree beside our boardwalk could not stand straight after the winds, something that happens to pines often because of their shallow root system.
This pine broke off and fell into the road in between me driving off for an appointment and returning home. Road crews had moved it to the side before I even knew it was down - otherwise, I'd not have been able to get my car home (it was close enough to home that I'd have been able to park and walk).
