Today was Wade's birthday. I took him out for breakfast this morning and then this afternoon he wanted to go to his friend Carl's house. Carl owns quite a bit of land and he had been telling us about this tree he has that you just had to see to believe. So while we were there he gave me a ride out in the woods on his 4 wheeler to see this tree.
This picture may be a little dark
A closer look at the trunk and the way it curves
Here I drew a red line to show the way the tree is growing. The line across the bottom is where the ground is. Where it begins to curve back up, it's not touching the ground.
The coolest tree I've ever seen.

That is a cool tree! Looks like a Loch Ness Monster in the woods!
Happy Birthday Wade!
That's just awesome! Amazing how it developed!
I've never seen anything like that! I'm amazed at how it doesn't touch the ground. Kind of freaky. Happy Birthday Wade!
It is so incredible how nature will make sure a tree will keep on growing!
It's amazing - I wonder if a piece of it is underground - incredible!
That is amazing!! Boy, wouldn't my little grandbabies love playing by that tree! I can see them now...running under and around and under and around......
Thats an awesome tree mom
This is WAY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As everyone has said - Way cool. I wonder what made it grow that way...
And Happy Birthday to Wade !Yay!
It must have had quite a drive to live as a sapling. Thanks for showing us xx
A Humpbacked Hickory?
I had the same thought as Beaded: it looks like the Loch Ness monster is in the woods. *laugh* Very strange indeed.
P.S Do I need to tell you how much I absolutely adored the photos of your messy craft room?
Didn't think so ;o)
Amazing, if it wasn't for your picture I wouldn't believe it! I would be glad to find some day something similar, as I like trees very much.
That really is a different tree. Looks like it got tired and then came back to life. Glad you got a picture of that.Happy Birthday to Wade. Hope he had a great day. Take care.
by far the coolest tree I have not seen and would love to see. wow, it is so big and tall and beautiful and way cool. would love a walk in Carls woods. i can see lots to photograph just in your photos and maybe there is a fairy or a leprechaun living under that tree. I see MAGIC
Now that's what I can an awesome find! You know how I love the odd things in nature.
I wonder how it grew that way.
What was it thinking? Very entertaining ;-)
That is a way cool tree. I would have loved to see this tree.
Have a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
I've never seen another one like it! What kind is it? It is obviously thriving all these years!
That is (as my tree loving son would say) awesome.
This maple wasn't going to let anything stop it from growing.Lovely find.
Wow ~ that is really different! Nature can certainly adapt can't it.

I was probably weighted down in an ice storm one winter in its youth, but very cool.
I think I have to agree that is THE COOLEST TREE!!! Happy Birthday to Wade.
Amazing makes you wonder how it got that way
Woof! Woof! What COOL!!!! tree. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
wow!! whoaaaa!! a great place to play :D
How odd?!?! I assumed, at first, that it hit the ground and started back up. But apparently not. Neat!
Wow I have never seen a tree like that.
