I wonder how many years this poor tree spent confined in a too-small planter box? No matter. It seems to have adjusted just fine to its new-found freedom. You could almost think of it as living sculpture! This photo was taken down by the Hudson River in Cold Spring, New York.

    Michelle, I prepare a newsletter for an Urban Forest Council, and I was struck by this photo. Would it be possible for me to reprint it (with credit to you, of course!) in our next issue? I think our "tree guys" would find it as eye-catching as I did.

    I've seen this tree! It's really most incredible. And it's thriving now, which is just great.
