Patch on Cathkin Braes at the 'split' tree

What is that old story about the eye of the needle!! This tree looks a little like the eye of a needle, but you probably could fit a camel through it - with a squeeze! It was damaged after some very high winds at the start of March. The top of the tree is 'hung-up' on another Larch, and it is actually rather precarious, especially with the path underneath it! There has been quite a bit of regeneration of Beech trees around this area, which was cleared of Rhododenrons quite a few years ago. There have also been some windfalls opening up the canaopy to allow some seedlings to develop. Hopefully in a few years, they will have grown quite large!
