Tree-a-holics?

@Myrathor The linden is the Czech national tree? Wow. We have linden trees in the US.

In fact we have the Littleleaf linden tree, tilia cordata, right where I live. I don't have a photo right now but I will take one later this week. Of course, it being winter, the trees have no leaves but I will take a summer photo to show their leaves.

We have a nice variety of trees where my apartment is. We have hawthorne trees, flowering cherry, honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos). I have more trees to take photos, but they will need comparisons for the spring and summer when they are glorious in their leaves and flowers.

@MarieP Usually, in such a tree is an information sign.

Here are photos of a large banyan tree that sits in the center of the city of Lahaina, in Maui Hawaii.

I took these photos last October 2016.

These are three photos of one very large banyan tree. 

I don't think my map link works the way you all do it, but I hope it gives an idea.

@MarieP On the Slavonic Congress in Prague in 1848, where he became a linden tree Slavs officially. Since then their national tree regarded Czechs.

@MarieP Magnificent stately trees. Thanks for sharing.

Hi @MarieP, it is a rowan-tree, is not edible. I fiori sono delle piccole rose selvatiche, molto delicate. Purtroppo non riesco a trovare un'immagine, vorrà dire che me ne procurerò una appena fioriscono.

Un'altra varietà piacevole di bacche, che puoi incontrare in inverno lungo il Sile è questa, di cui però non conosco il nome.

@ErmesT I know of the rowan tree but have never seen one close. It is lovely.

Hoy les traigo unos árboles que encontré en el "sendero de la Ruca" muy cerca de una ciudad en Tolhuin, son Lengas unos árboles que crecen muy lentos y muy alto después de 100 años

@FaridTDF Nice trees. 100 years that they're quite old.

Estos en particular @Myrathor, no se tendrían 100 años, pero 45 seguro, estos crecen hasta esa edad.
