I found this incredible example of Trees In Love near Lake Paloma. I have seen some interesting Tree Love before, but this is the most extreme. The Oak has completely encircled the Palm tree. Talk about a heart breaker... the Palm tree has died.
If you click and enlarge the photo, you can see one of our local lizards hanging head-down on the Palm trunk, just below the Oak circlet. If you are cruising Dunedin, this tree is just off San Christopher Dr., near the Coca-Cola facility.

wow, thats amazing !
ReplyDeleteThis is going to create an ever-expanding problem for the larger tree. As the smaller one grows the larger has to open up its grip on the smaller or risk being split wide apart. I see it has always come close to splitting.
ReplyDeleteI have seen trees swallow lots of things but not another tree quite like this one.
Pretty amazing and yet sad. The bigger tree won out. Very cool photo!
ReplyDeleteoh my!!! this looks like the palm has been strangled to death.......have you seen Hitchcock's movie, Rope???? it reminds me of that for some reason!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though too much love is a dangerous thing?
ReplyDeleteNeat shot....but I'm sad for the Palm!
