- Info about the photo: in my opinion this is not a picture of any tree but the picture tells the story of the latter part of the life cycle of an old willow (Salix). Years ago, the tree came down (partly uprooted). Then the willow has developed new vertical branches. The horizontal stem is split and the core is rotten. In the hollow space are other plants grown and overgrown willow. Although the old tree still alive. So strong nature can be. --Famberhorst (talk) 16:31, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Willows indeed have amazing capabilities for surviving all kinds of disturbances – throw a branch on a gravel bank and you may get a new tree! You can see a good example of those capabilities in the image – but only if you know what you are looking for. The first reaction of a casual observer unfortunately will not be something like "Wow, this tree should totally be dead, but look: it's branching out again!" So, yes, it's telling a story, but not very loudly. --El Grafo (talk) 10:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
- Note: I respect your opinion. Explanation: This willow is at least 50 years old.--Famberhorst (talk) 06:14, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
