What can we say about this?
What a funny sight in the middle of the woods, but I couldn’t come up with a good caption. I need your help people. Throw some clever captions my way and we will see which one sticks.
This is a Ponderosa pine with a tire about eighteen feet up. I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t throw it up that high. I don’t know how it got there. However, I have my suspicions. If I were a betting man, I would say it involved a mischievous logger, with too much time on his hands, and a loader. If it wasn’t that, then there must be an airplane flying around with missing landing gear.

I know ‘m late to the party but…:
This is an extremely rare radial tree. It was discovered in 1853, at which time only three specimens could be found. The tree proved difficult to propagate, and by 1950, after the last seedling died, it was deemed extinct. In 1970 a sole survivor was found. Their most striking feature has to be the one fully functioning radial that the mature tree produce annually. Sadly that is a rarity which few will be privileged to see.
