This beautiful tree is in a park not far from the oldest part of my town. It’s probably as old as the oldest buildings.
What a great tree to climb!
Alas, such is not to be. Notice the fence surrounding the base? My guess as to why – liability issues. The city can’t be bothered with the cost of a lawsuit from some parent whose kid climbs the tree, falls down, breaks his leg and sues.
I miss the old days, when you could turn around without having to consider legal implications.
