    Unfortunately it doesn't show up in the photos...
    However, in the original it is really a mighty tree 🌳 🫨
    Huge trunk diameter & tree crown.
    If he could talk... about all these decades...
    He would have a lot to say 😊🌳

      This magnificent beech has an enormous trunk diameter and a powerful crown. Trees of such dimensions are relatively rare. They're usually felled before they're ready. I couldn't find out why this beautiful specimen was spared the ax and saw. A plaque is attached to the trunk, where there may have been a reference to it. Unfortunately it is completely weathered.
