Pretty.

Stick your head in it!



Farther!



Smells good.

You got to appreciate the little things.

    This is a Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides. It's a conifer, hence the "smell good" qualities!

    The branches, unfortunately, are too low. They'll get damaged by parking cars and so on. Hopefully a Citizen Tree Pruner will care for this tree.

    Wow thanks! It's on Apollo Street, between Meeker and Nassau Aves, in case you want to help it out.

    Got to love a brave tree.
    Like my front lawn dwarf pine. It's completely buried under snow 5 months per year and always resurrects itself every April - but it does not grow.

    That's a good tree. Maybe it doesn't grow cause it's a dorf?

    Those pics would make nice desktop backgrounds. :) Love the shapes and saturated green.
