We start with a large "cedar" tree that has done pretty well for itself; http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/growing+on+a+rock.jpg.html This sapling seems to have it's work cut out for itself: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/splitting+the+stone.jpg.html Whereas this cottonwood seems to be able to do without water for long periods of time: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/high+and+dry.jpg.html This sprout is doing well until the next rain storm sends 3 meters of water down the creek bed: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/unfortunate+spot+to+land.jpg.html If you look closely this tree is actually sending roots into holes in the limestone: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/don_dory_gmail_com/Tuesday+Trees/adverse+circumstances.jpg.html All the best. -- Don don.dory at gmail.com -- Don don.dory at gmail.com
