Interesting tree

April 6th, 2013

While Suzanne and I were out last weekend we saw these trees that appeared to be pine trees that had died from some disease. The trees are farmed up on the fells and huge swaths were brown. 

Today while walking up the near fell road I came closer and saw that yes, these are a pine tree, but instead of being an evergreen that is dying, it's actually deciduous and is covered with buds!

I've never seen a pine tree that wasn't an evergreen. I learned something new today!

Until next time...
