Where did the tree come from?
You see Geoff, a pine tree begins as a seed released from a cone, germinating when conditions are moist and warm enough for its tiny root and shoot to emerge. Over the next several years, it develops a strong taproot and a growing trunk, adding height through its main leader and expanding branches outward. With adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients, it steadily gains mass and height—eventually reaching around 30 feet as its wood layers thicken and annual growth rings build year after year. Pretty fascinating stuff. Hope that helps.
Very funny, Jon. Do you even know where this tree came from or are you just having fun?
We love our crooked tree.
Saw another video and it looked like the tree came from Robb field near We BE OB.
