No, not the White tree of Gondor slighted by Orcs, but a fallen holly tree with every accessible centimetre of succulent bark systematically and deftly nibbled off by hungry ponies. The seemingly ever increasing number of hungry ponies in the forest will seek out any opportunity for a meal during the thin months of winter. Feasting on an already downed and doomed tree is one thing, though when taken to extremes as I've seen in previous years, it's a behaviour that can quickly take out a veteran tree.
