This twisted catalpa tree was probably the result of several small saplings planted closely together back in 1883.

How interesting! You mean this happened naturally?
Do you think they could have ever imagined it would look like this?
I always wondered about that tree.... thought it was some sort of arboreal magic trick!! very interesting... I remember seeing a gnarly mountain tree that had a cork screw type of growth pattern that was a mystery to me.. but this takes the prize!!
Z- I don't think it happened naturally, I think man had a hand in twisting them together.
PD - By doing this blog, I've actually learned alot about the area that I did not know. I like to be accurate when I make an historical post and therefore I have to do a little googling.
What a great tree. Reminds me of Florida's ficus trees.
This place looks magic, really a beautiful library and a great tree.
wow. as a fanatical tree photographer I will have to approve this!
Pretty and amazing! The library looks very interesting too. I had to look it up. Lots of interesting architectural details on the building.
PS - looks like Disney used this tree for some of the early cartoons. I can just see it moving the limbs in a storm.
This is just like the womping willow in Harry Potter :)
