I can understand people being upset, but a condolence card is a bit much.
Get a grip, it’s just a tree.
Our "guests" needed a campfire to heat up their Goya frijoles refritos.
NOTICE OF PARTIAL CLOSURE: The Pioneer Tree Trail is temporarily closed until further notice. Public advised to stay clear of area. The rest of the park remains open.

Trees come and go. That’s their job.
That tree was the only one who could tell us why Genghis Khan invaded China.
Cut it up and make furniture out of it BEFORE this sort of thing happens.
Remember this in Texas? I understand they took cuttings when the tree was poisoned. Wonder if anyone got cuttings of this burned tree.
