Leaning Red Oak vs Gravity

and gravity always wins. Will take it to the house tomorrow.


Bonus pics of baby Pawpaw fruit

 

N8ce find. I hope there's not too much rot in the trunk.

 

Good find! Did it fall on its own or did you help it? Eventually gravity does win. Is paw paw a shrub or does it get tree sized?

 

Fell on it’s own. I have seen paw paw trees in the mountains that had to have been 80’ tall and straight as a pencil.

 

Easy splitting firewood.
I met a guy who was using paw paw to make beer.

 

Here it is safe at home


I will add it to my next privacy fence

 

Yay!

 

Nice grab. Your red oaks look vastly different from ours up north.

 

Lots of oaks are called red that are not, I’ll call it red when I’m unsure of species. This one could be a southern red.

 

I thought there were only 2 types of oak- mine and someone else's.

 

That works too
