Trees Up Close and Personal

The stump of a Leyland Cypress tree. If you look closely
you can count the rings.


Foliage of the Leyland Cypress. We planted
62 of these trees in our backyard. In the past
few years we've had to cut down 3 of them.
We call them our "living fence." We've had
to top them over the years because they've
grown so tall.


I'm not sure what kind of tree this is, but
the peeling bark is kind of interesting.
