In contrast to yesterdays post where the trees were down and out, this tree had refuse to go down and had continued to struggle on. Having been uprooted in some past storm, with 75% of its roots truncated and exposed, it fell into the supportive boughs of a neighbour. At which point the tree re-evaluated its options, and decided to send a couple of its side boughs up through the hole in the canopy left by its demise. Nice plan. These side boughs are now about 30cm in circumference, suggesting this all happened some years ago. This tree is tenacious and although down, is in no way out.
