Dublin City - Official Policy For Removal of Trees - Trees are removed only when necessary as a last resort.
The criteria for tree removal are:
1 The tree is dead, dying or is considered hazardous due to its poor structural or biological condition,. Hazardous conditions may exist above and/or below ground and may include significant root, trunk or crown decay, split trunks and crotches, and large dead limbs.
2 The tree has declined beyond the point of recovery and is no longer meeting the functional or aesthetic requirements of a street tree. Typically, a tree with 30 percent or less of its foliage remaining would meet this criterion.
3 Fatally diseased trees (eg. Ash dieback, Fireblight Disease) may be removed before they reach the primary threshold in order to prevent the spread of disease to healthy trees.
4 To allow space for development of nearby trees that may be more desirable for retention
5 To allow space for new planting
6 To make way for any approved engineering or building works when unavoidable construction work will immediately compromise the stability or viability of the tree.
7 Tree proven to be causing significant structural damage that cannot be reasonably addressed by an alternative solution and proactive tree management has had no mitigating effect.
8 To abate actionable nuisance
9 The trunk of the tree is within 2m of a public lighting column and the long term viability of the tree if retained in its location would be compromised by a requirement for ongoing maintenance in order to maintain the effectiveness of the adjoining street light.
If a site where a tree was removed is suitable to support a new tree, the site may be replanted with a suitable tree species. Because the stump has to be placed on a stump removal list and sufficient time needs to elapse to allow breakdown of residual underground root material, the
process from removal to replanting may take up to 3-5 years. Replacement tree planting will only take place during the dormant season.
The "Miracle Beech Tree" (Wunderbuche) in Selm/Bork, NRW, Germany at the end of Winter 2016/17 (March 10, 2017). Frost is gone and there is a hue of green in the forest.
A brief walk in the woods one day brought me to this amazing old tree. There was bits and pieces of new life still attached but I wondered how many like me had passed this way, passed this tree. Near St.John's, NL.
The sun was setting and shining on half of this beautiful tree's branches..........
Solitary trees if they grow at all, grow strong!
~Winston Churchhill
This is a solitary tree and it is big beautiful and strong!; )
Thanks to my friend Dave, I got this great title; )
While out on our walk we came across this wonderful tree. It reminded me of the Ents in Lord of the Rings!
I have given it a little of the Orton effect in Dynamic Photo HDR to give a dreamy feel.

People are often afraid to show what they feel or love. They are so scared that they will be thought of poorly or misunderstood. Silly. Life is beautiful; no need to think about trifles. I rarely have an opinion about other people and even more rarely care about what they think about me... Life is beautiful & unique. And as Walt Whitman said, everything is a miracle. Health & happiness, and peace... everything else...
Whatever!!!
The 'Preston Twins' have been recorded as being the oldest and largest surviving English Elms in Europe. Estimated to be at least 400 years old and with a trunk girth of 6 metres. Sadly, this tree's 'twin' companion had to be felled recently.
These magnificent English Elm trees (Ulmus minor var. vulgaris) are situated in the Coronation Garden (North End of Preston Park) they are considered to be the oldest Elms in the world.
The twins are circa 1613 which makes them 400 years old which was 4 years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed in America, James 1 was on the throne and Shakespeare’s plays were first being performed. It is amazing to think that these wonderful trees have stood tall in the park here in Brighton all that time.
The English Elm is sometimes referred to as Ulmus minor ‘Atinia’ and loosely as the Atinian Elm. A genetic diversity survey of trees in Spain, Italy and the UK found all English Elms in these areas to be identical genetic clones of a single tree The ‘Atinian’ Elm which is assumed to have been brought to the UK by the romans and used to support their grapevines.
These trees have so far avoided contamination by the Elm disease fungus due to the stringent control measures adopted by Brighton and Hove City council since the 1970s. The Twins have been pruned frequently to ensure that the weight of the leaf canopy does not cause the hollow stems to collapse. The Twins are home to a colony of elm-dependent White-letter Hairstreak butterflies, a species which has been on the decline in areas that have suffered with Elm Disease.

She was a beauty--a gold 45 goddess for sure! A Gold 45 Goddess exalts the archetypal form of Athena--the Greek Goddess of wisdom, warfare, strategy, heroic endeavour, handicrafts and reason. A Gold 45 Goddess guards the beauty of dx4/dt=ic and embodies 45SURF's motto "Virtus, Honoris, et Actio Pro Veritas, Amor, et Bellus, (Strength, Honor, and Action for Truth, Love, and Beauty," and she stands ready to inspire and guide you along your epic, heroic journey into art and mythology. It is Athena who descends to call Telemachus to Adventure in the first book of Homer's Odyssey--to man up, find news of his true father Odysseus, and rid his home of the false suitors, and too, it is Athena who descends in the first book of Homer's Iliad, to calm the Rage of Achilles who is about to draw his sword so as to slay his commander who just seized Achilles' prize, thusly robbing Achilles of his Honor--the higher prize Achilles fought for. And now Athena descends once again, assuming the form of a Gold 45 Goddess, to inspire you along your epic journey of heroic endeavour.
