home > Southern red oak limbs hacked  
  A beautiful Southern red oak in Southside, Birmingham, AL had quite a few limbs hacked off this summer. I assume UAB had the tree cut, since the limbs were over their parking lot.
Take a virtual walk around this tree with the photosynth I created in spring 2011.
Update: 2013-02-18 The house adjacent to this beautiful tree burned down in a 3 alarm fire. Three bodies were found among the burned rubble.
