I have some friends who had a lovely old post oak on their property.

It died two summers ago. It is as beautiful as a skeleton, as it was while alive. Even after it’s death, it is still a haven for birds and animals. I was there in July, and there were hundreds of hummingbirds flying around the tree, catching bugs for their babies.

Since it is plenty far enough from their house, they are going to let it stay, as is, as a home for animals, as long as they can safely do so. They are also a butterfly sanctuary, and are going to run the flower areas right up under the tree. I can’t wait to see it this summer.
