nice closeups of a nice tree

me and this tree are very close, it is a wild apple tree that was either grown from animal droppings or someone tossing an apple core on the ground when they were done many decades ago. the orange fuzzy stuff is a wonderful type of lichen that can be an even more vibrant orange than this. just look at its patterns!!! this year i am going to try and make some sort of mead with its fruit, as the apples are very small and extremely tart and bitter. deer love laying beneath it and showing the apples to their young on the low branches. such a wonderful energy to this tree. blessings /|\

Hey. I hope you guys are having a good beltane. About a month ago, a tree very special to me that has been growing along side me on my property has experienced a very large crack from a very large wind storm. This tree always signaled the beginning of spring by its budding leaves, and I would sit under it when I needed to think. I would see it as I woke and fell asleep. Due to the crack, the tree is very unstable and can risk falling and had also had disease grow deep into the trunk of the tree, so the decision was made to cut it down. I am devastated. I have never had plant grief like this. Every day I see it being cut down slowly and it’s genuinely breaking my heart. Does anyone have any advice on how to process this? Perhaps how to honor it? Thanks for reading /|\
