This will be the last entry dedicated to the tree on the corner of Thorndike and Howard St. in Somerville, MA. I read in today's newspaper that the tree was cut down, and I immediately went down to see and take a picture. Not surprisingly, the tree had inspired many, and she apparently had been given the name Bertha, but the effort to save her was ultimately in vain. I am most thankful that I was able to document this magnificent plant for almost exactly one full year. Enjoy this blog, and an example of the life cycle of a beautiful willow tree.
