Quick Tumblr Thread On Tree That Owns Itself


Just when we thought we'd seen it all, we happen upon this fine example of a tree that literally owns itself. It's a beautiful and strange world, folks.

Text - giraffepoliceforce I love this story because this guy in the early 1800's had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it. Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.
