The downed tree blocked the heavy winds that would have knocked the other tree down. It is the least it can do for a fellow neighbor that took the heavy blow.
There are a lot of trees falling here (California) due to roots drying up (no water), and disease. Plus there are many being cut back to prepare for possible fires. But up the street is a big pine that fell, its roots still in the ground. It’s now laying on the ground, and kind of thriving, due to root position. The winds can’t knock it down. We keep watching it, wondering what someone will do to it. I hope they leave it alone.
In Wisconsin’s forests, you go near the dead tree with any kind of saw and use it, the DNR NAZIS take your car, house, family, fine you, throw you in jail longer than a Core Gang Member and quadruple the tax on your license plate sales earnings.
@DavidHuieGreen“they communicate between each other, other trees and over insects like wasps. By use of chemical scents.”.Knowing the medium is not the same as knowing the message.Besides, we don’t really know the language until we can take part in the conversation.
@DavidHuieGreen“Sounds like Dr. F. Nietzsche and his “slave mentality” over the “Master Mentality.””.I don’t see how but then he strikes me as strange.I wonder if his followers think they acquire power through association with the master mentality of Dr. F. Nietzsche.

Don’t remember a strip with none of the cave people or regular animals. Seems kind of rare.

I guess we can blame evolution for the lack of talking trees in current day…

Ecclesiastes 49 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken..Notice this assumes they work together.
