Well it has to be the Baobab, even tho' I voted prior to scrolling down the thread.

Any tree that can be used as an outside loo has to be good!

Mmmmmm......must go and inspect the potential of that big tree down the bottom of our garden.Wonder how the drainage is?

Ooooo.... yes a Pub!.....even better.

The Lonely Tree of Ténéré is the one I would have voted for if a drunk hadn't managed to kill the only tree in a 120 mile radius

Should have had a category, "One of my bonsai"
How many votes would that have gotten?

Learning the art of bonsai may be more like water wearing away a stone, or climbing a mountain where the peak is always shrouded in fog and just out of reach.
Persist, and someday you may see the peak in sunshine. You may pick up the stone and it's a thing of beauty.

Wow, those are some absolutely awesome trees to behold. I've loved the Giant Sequoias ever since I visited the US way back in 1987 but, I too had to vote for the Baobab trees. I think they look fantastic. I was amazed at the various shapes these things grow into.

I had to give a sad chuckle at the fate of the "Loney Tree of Ténéré. No other tree for 250 mile radius and someone hit it? That had to be a woman at the wheel lol.

Thanks for the link Matt. Added it to favourites

All the best,

Aaron

At the risk of sounding chauvinistic, please note four of these trees are in California.

Correction: actually it's five of them. I didn't count the circus trees.

I was shocked at the warming trends. Seems the medieval sobs did something to create global warming. Wonder what it could have been. Maybe it was all the blacksmithing, maybe equine methane, or maybe suv excess...

Iampartial to the Sequioa now
