MOTHER NATURE AT HER WORST

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL CHINESE TALLOW WOOD TREE WHEN IT GETS A DIRECT HIT BY LIGHTNING...IT WAS ABOUT 5 METRES TALL WITH A HUGE CANOPY WHICH GAVE US SUMMER SHADE & WINTER SUN...A "FERAL" RAIN TREE HAS SPRUNG UP RIGHT NEXT TO THE BIT OF TRUNK THAT'S LEFT SO HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE HERE WHEN IT MATURES ...AVERAGE HEIGHT NOW ABOUT HALF A METRE...AVERAGE HEIGHT FULLY GROWN ABOUT 15 METRES...GOOD LUCK I SAY
