These ^^^ are so good!

Do you know how to resize photos so you can put them directly into the thread? You need to make them no bigger than 480 high and 640 wide. Then, you put them between an image tag like this--> .

I found these in Wired magazine's web site. Here are just a couple of old trees featured.

General Sherman

This towering giant sequoia stretches 275 feet, about as tall as a 27-story high-rise building, and is 102.6 feet around. That makes it the largest (by volume) individual tree in the world. The general lives in the Sequoia National Park in California. Scientists believe this tree could be anywhere from 2,300 years old to 2,700 years old.

Old Tjikko

This ancient, 16-foot tall Norway spruce lives in the scrubby Fulufjället Mountains in Sweden. At 9,550 years, Old Tjikko is the oldest single-stemmed clonal tree, and took root not long after the glaciers receded from Scandinavia after the last ice age. To figure out the hardy spruce’s age, scientists carbon-dated its roots. For thousands of years, the forbidding tundra-climate kept Old Tjikko in shrub form. But as weather warmed over the last century, the shrub has grown into a full-fledged tree. The spruce’s discoverer, geologist Leif Kullman, named the tree after his dead dog.

these are gumtrees.

this one is in my frontyard.




these two i passed last night on my stroll to school.

Fifthelement

^^^ Cool pix cate.

I saw that article too BG. I was going to post a link as well
Some really amazing trees they featured, eh? I especially like Methuselah and Jardine Juniper. Their twisted, tortured and aged appearances really appeal to me :? :oops:

This is what it looks like in Atlanta. The Bradford Pear trees line the streets in full glorious bloom. Can't help but make a yankee think of snow

justam

Pandora, those trees are so pretty. Do they have a nice scent too?
