The Walking Twins of Roosendael

Breaking News! Two planes have crashed to the ground at Roosendael in Flanders, Belgium.  Miraculously, no one was killed, and they walked away from the wreckage.

The Walking Twins of Roosendael

So free and beautiful, tall in the sky, they flew, 

Until a great storm raged and raged and blew, 

Their hands slipped, their embrace was broken, 

Crashing to the ground, their neighbours were woken, 

No one was killed, only slight injuries, 

The miraculous Walking Twins of Roosendaal are no 'plain' trees!

The 'Not-so Plain' Walking Twins of Roosendael

The Planes crashed to the Earth...Now they 'Walk' to London...

Platanus xhispanica (London Plane)

They are no longer 'ROOTED' to the spot....The Walking Twins of Roosendael... They are an OPEN CLASSROOM for everyone to learn about the wonders of trees... PHOENIX trees regenerate and root after falling to the ground...essentially, they 'walk' across landscapes. In three hundred years, these Platanus will be a long way from the 'Mother Trees'.

Not any old PLANE Forest...a real gem of Europe...

Wonderful, tree man Ton above tree man arborist Bert

Playing the 'Nail' game... Arjan below is the Champion mostly.. If I can remember! Lol.

Such an important event for all of these excellent arborists to come together to discuss veteran trees and so much more...

I look forward to the next event with Bomen Beter Beheren.

Challenging job today working on a hollowed out oak stem that has suffered fire damage from the local little cherubs setting fire to it 🤦. The tree has lost large limbs and the remaining canopy overhangs a pedestrian path. The tree is located only via a pedestrian subway so we measured the access prior to our scheduled works to ensure our tracked access platform and pickup trucks towing woodchipper could pass through safely. We inspected the tree for any wildlife prior to removing the branches creating a monolith stem. email: sales@acornarb.co.uk www.acornarb.co.uk #Climbers #Arborist #Groundsman #Treesurgeon #Treework #Ancienttrees #Veterantree #Oak #Windblown #Emergency #Callout #Crown #Reduction #Monolith #Tracked #Mewp #Access #Platform #Spiderlift #Greatbaddow (at Great Baddow, Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPT8REAhIod/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Repost @mschickhofer ‣ Unprotected fragment of an old growth beech forest in northern Austria. As Europe's unnatural plantations increasingly collapse due to the effects of the climate crisis, more resilient natural forests are becoming even more important. We should not forget the global natural ecosystem crisis - we will not be able to cope without our old grown forests ... In the face of the global crisis, logging of ecologically mature forests should be classified as stupid and as a crime. . . . . . . . @sierraclubbc #SaveOldGrowth #saveparadiseforests #protectnature #nature #naturelovers #veterantrees #forest #forestphotography #forestlovers ‣ Repost #ticker #wohnblogAT https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQV_dBhwPa/?igshid=k3rp0g0lfv69
