The view this morning.



How much life, Mr. Twist still had in him. The tree was heavy with these.



All that is left to remind us what once was there.

I think I'm taking it harder than some might imagine. This house used to belong to my great aunt. I climbed that tree when I was in preschool.

Oh NO! I am so sorry.

Maybe you could plant one of the seedlings?

[razorjak.livejournal.com]

I would have. But the seeds were far too immature. They'd just started showing up a few weeks ago.

Jak that is too sad..for a tree he was far too young.. i hate hearing of trees falling victim to storms.. on the very same night we had some rather gruesome storm activity from Brisbane down the east coast to sydney....damage everywhere.

is it possible to take a graft or cutting? I say that with absoloutely no knowledge of gardening whatsoever.

When I first moved in here one of the things I loved were the two amazingly big trees across the street [more than twice the height of the surrounding houses] but a couple of months ago the men with the chainsaws came and took them both down for no clear reason I could see [though it did look, after one was sliced open that it was starting to go, but certainly not the other].

They'd come and cut them down in stages each weekend and I couldn't stand to be in my living room as they did it, as it was so depressing. So it's miserable as all get out to hear that ya'll had to lose a tree you grew up with when I was upset at the lose of trees I'd only had a chance to know for a couple of years.

At the very least, though, I was glad for the chance to see the pictures. It really was a neat tree.

We named the tree, Mr Twist when we were kids. I was kinda looking forward to my nieces and nephews to climb it.
