Where is my family?  

I probably have at some point, but actually I've often FELT like that one lone white birch in the midst of all those red maples!! And, that's within my blood family!!

I have never noticed I don't guess. Around here we don't have some of the beautiful trees that other places have.

That is a really interesting tree. I always love the way you start your discussions - you make things so interesting. :P I feel bad for the lonesome tree though - I would hate to feel so alone amongst second cousins.

Hun, we have a tree in Austin that is a LONG way from home, it is, I believe, an Italian Pine that grew from a cone that fell from packing of Italian marble at a headstone carver's that used to be located on the site. of course I can't FIND any thing on line about it, but I used to live close to this beautiful tree - wish I could find a pix for ya

Hi GRANDPA BOB,


Isen't lovely to go walking in the natures walk through the trees and be one with nature? i love to sit there for hours and you know if you listen hard, you can hear the trees whispering.

Yes. I have seen those kinds of trees before. I hate to see them eventually fall down also because they are a land marker.

It's funny to think of the many ways solitary plants/trees can get deposited so far from their parent plants. I have never noticed tres that are alone in their surroundings but have had many a plant spring up in unusual places fra from others of their kind. Also have had some plants to just pop up in my beds that were never planted. lol

I am sure I have before, but I probably did not even notice it. I don't notice things in nature like you do. I guess I don't pay much attention.

Yes, often and it's usually an oak tree. It's unusual to have a lone birch tree but then I guess animals and the wind scatter the seeds. Oak trees often grow on their own in woodland. I don't know why that is, but maybe the same applies to the acorns. Squirrels probably drop them when gathering them for the winter.

Brightest Blessings.
