This old tree is in an interesting position.

The old tree. Maybe someone can say something, looking at the tree rings, but too much is already gone. The tree trunk is now next to the school house (see the left, background). It is apparently some sort of a compromise and is intended to be a school yard "prop" of some sort.
It is nice to see that they have found ways to use old trees.
The park was forced to close for two weeks in February 2014 after Storm Darwin caused 19 trees to fall and work was needed to repair damaged pavements, railings and unblock pathways. But there was some good news … Ssome of the oldest and rarest trees knocked in Limerick’s People’s Park by Storm Darwin are being given a new lease of life by being transformed into works of art.

Sadly one of the rarest trees in the park, an ornamental tree called a ‘Tetradium Danielli” which was about 80 or 90 years old was destroyed in the storm. The tree in question is commonly called a ‘Bee Bee’ tree as it is covered in late July and August with masses of small white flowers which attracts large numbers of bees as a source of late summer honey. Prk management had a chat with Zambian woodcarver Paradazi Havatyitye and as a result he carved three beautiful bees in the remaining stump.
I am never happy about trees being cut down but in this instance I do not know the full story and may never do so.
Having read the news about the petition I decided to visit Fairview to see what the fuss was about and also it was a good excuse to visit the area.
According to one local that I spoke to the City Council is planning to remove about fifty trees in order to make way for a new cycle path but a second lady explained that as the trees will be replaced by the Corpo [Dublin City Council] she was not interested in the petition.
As the planting began in 1906 some of the trees are over a hundred years old and according to the City Council officials some of the older trees are distressed because of restricted growing space and need to be felled regardless of their plans for a cycleway.
On the main Fairview road there is a large number of trees marked with yellow bands and I assume that these are the trees destined for the chop. However, according to some online accounts it is the trees along the park’s main footpath that are under threat. I think that some reports have used stock photographs of random trees in the park.
By the way the Irish Times are not in favour of the petition see: www.irishtimes.com/opinion/fairview-trees-row-shows-why-d...
Sarv-e-Abarqu ("cyprus of Abarqu"), also called the Zoroastrian Sarv, is a cypress tree in Abarqu, Yazd, Iran. It is an Iranian national monument and major tourist attraction. It is over four thousand years old and may be the oldest living thing in Asia.

Came across this old, old tree. It has a home made watering device up and over it, as it requires constant refreshment. Taiwan.

This line of hawthorns has stood at one edge of this playing field for as long as I can remember. Love their windblown, twisted shapes.

Ordinarily, this field in Cherokee Park is full of people on a warm, Spring evening like tonight. But today is Derby Day in Louisville, Kentucky, and people tend to gather with friends and families for parties and backyard barbecues. Cherokee Park was almost empty.
The cemetery, established in 1874, is terraced into the hillside on the north end of what remains of Gardiner, Oregon, on Old Highway 101. Most of the headstones are quite old and some are struggling with the elements and the passage of time. These gravestones belong, for the most part, to the early pioneers of the area. Steep cement paths lead visitors to the graves of founding citizens and their descendants, children who never made it to adulthood due to the rigors of pioneer life, and others can be found there.
