[Boomslang]

Not too many of these old guys left and it's hard to believe there will be many more in the future. Always a sad day when one leaves us; so much history in those rings.

@treehumper has been talking about this job for a little while now in the work photo thread (could be a different one) Looks like an awesome tree, to bad the old girl had to throw in the towel. Talk about some history there

Trees don't die from old age.

That needs correction. Trees die for other reasons a long fuckin list of reasons that all have nothing to do with old age.
