It is covered in a kind of moss. I enjoy it at Filoli, a historic garden in Woodside, California which is a home to several of my most favorite trees. I go to just visit them. If you ever get to visit No Ca, you must go for a real gardening thrill.

LOL Rita, maybe at the top of this special tree there will be Brugland if we scurry up there fast.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree

Louise, I hope a person who winters over lots can help you. I have brought a few in my dining room over the years which is all sky lights and though I did get a few blooms, not enough for me to write home about. It could have been the kind of brugs I picked to come in though. Or it could have been me. LOL

This is a 400 year old heritage oak found at Alden Lane Nursery. They have about 6 of them that truly are spectacular in their height and their canopy spread. I just love huge old trees.
