Easier to get a close up picture of em. They love they CO2 we waste and they're just generally all round lovely creatures. If anyone wants to post up the trees they spot and a bit about them, then that would be amazing

My first tree is (watch this space).

Idea taken from the audax Bristol chap Adam Watkins. Dendrology it's called apparently.

Number 1. The Larch



The Larch

Sorry couldn't resist, I'll post a proper one up next time I'm out

Number 2 The Almond

This example is on our land and has been neglected for several years making the harvesting of the almonds almost impossible, once the blossom has gone, it's being drastically reduced to about 3 metres high which will give us quite a bit of firewood next winter.
Sorry for being brutal but it needs doing.

I don't get it? Help?

Great thread, will look out for some examples to contribute.

Edit: have to admit it's not just you Verena

I saw this and thought of you.
And you.
Oh, and you too

I'm even more embarrassed now I even scanned my mental bank of Python sketches, and came up blank.

You should be. I was born in '82, raised and living in Switzerland, yet I got it without even thinking. And had a good laugh.
