The tree is an apple and it still produces good apples. When i started to landsape around it, it was all brambles.It is hollow i can step in to it.This fall a big part fell out now it's a open floor plan. I have all kinds of flowers and critters around it there is a Dragon, Unicorns,Gnomes,Fairys,Frogs,Rabbits,Turtles,Bugs,Butterflys,and more.
My grand-daughers love to play around the tree.
Hope you enjoy my tree Karen Lee
in bloom

I love the possibility Aunt George mentioned - that it may have been planted by Johnny Appleseed. What a wonderful tree; I see faces in two of the photos. Very wise and old faces, just like the tree.

This tree proves that mother nature is the Queen of art. I love how gracefully the trunk twists and her bark covering follows every turn. Under her umbrella arms, we could all just dream the days away. Here's to another 200 yrs!!!

Oh, how beautiful. You can see the faces of time in the tree. The Indians, or so I heard, believe in tree spirts living in the trees. This tree surely must be a tree spirt of many. I like that you share the magic of the tree with your granddaughters. We need more grandmoms like you. Enjoy and keep close to heart the time you spend with your family, they are all the riches in the world.

Wow....how did I miss this post before? Wonderful old tree.
I wonder if John Chapman planted this tree.....Johnny Appleseed. He roamed your area of the country!! I wouldn't doubt that it is one of his!!

I see 3 faces. In the first photo, there's an old woman's face on the right, she's got a big smile and a bigger nose! In the last photo, there is a face on the right... looks kinda like the witch in Snow White, and then there's a bird's face sticking out of the top of the hole in the tree.
No, I haven't even watched Snow White in years... LOL. |

What a beautiful old tree. I think older trees have so much more character and personality.
