George's Favorite Trees




These are pictures of some of my favorite local trees. I will be adding new pictures from time time time.


Birch - This tree is located along the street on Summit Road in Cheshire, CT. most people would think these branches would be weak, sticking out so much. The opposite is true. The branch/trunk union area is mostly solid wood and very strong. Branches that are closer and look like a "v" in this area are mostly bark against bark and will often break away from the tree when they are subject to heavy wind or snow loads. What a nice looking tree !
White Oak - What a beautiful tree ! That's a 30" ladder at the base. I've been taking care of this tree on Payne Drive in Cheshire, CT for years.
