No trees where I am Bill, or very few.

Yes, I love trees, I have tons of pictures of trees that I haven't posted here, but a few of my favourties I have names.

Here is The Boys Tree, which finally bit the dust last year.

Afternoon, Sue.  What's the history of the name of the tree?


This is why it's called Isaa's Tree Ruth.

They say that this tree, and The Boys Tree are sisters, and about 300 years old. They are about five trees apart on the same lane. Well, they were until the wind took down The Boy's Tree.

Yes Stephanie, It is my youngest taken many years ago, as he is now 17.

Now I'm going to submit a picture of why the other tree is called The Boy's Tree.
