Although we have just finished five months and five books focused on trees, this morning I learned that it’s Tree Week and one of my favorite websites has a very cool article on Eight “Extraordinary Pieces of Architecture Grown from Living Trees<\/a>.”
\nCalled arbortecture, the article has brief descriptions and impressive photographs of arbortecture from around the world. Including three tree cathedrals or chapels and two root bridges, the article also has a number of images from Gilroy Gardens. We have talked about the Circus Trees of Axel Erlandson several times, most recently as a topic related to How I Became a Tree<\/a>.
\nThe Atlas Obscura piece ends with the art of Richard Reames<\/a> who, fittingly, was influenced by Erlandson and uses trees as a sculptural mediaum. Pretty cool!<\/p>\n

One thing mentioned during the April discussion that I forgot to look into was tree law. Luckily for me, at the bottom of the arbortecture article, there is a link<\/a> to tree law and the lawyers who specialize in arboreal arbitration! As you might suspect, this is a topic that is mostly about cutting back overhanging limbs and who has to pay when a tree falls on your house. As one lawyer who was interviewed wrote: \u201cI thought, as most lawyers do when they get their first tree case: \u2018How hard can it be?\u2019\u201d Bonapart says. \u201cI quickly learned it was very complex and very nuanced.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, check out the articles, let me know if you find other interesting plant and tree related information, and have a happy tree week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
