TREE AND RAILING

Tree (possibly lime) behind wrought iron railing.

On tree and railings both, a selection of moss, mould and lichen.
For the trees and plants growing on the branches, see the Loose and Leafy post

This must be on the north side of the tree? Fine lichen growth on both.

How unique a combination and the shades of green are so interestingly similar. Wonderful and different textures in both, too.

Is that a Yew tree?

Hello Taken for Granted. This photograph of the tree trunk and railings is taken from its western side. Because there are buildings around, and other trees, and it causes a lot of shade itself, it's not necessarily behaving according to country lore. Its a big trunk so I don't think I can peer round it - and it's in private grounds so I can't go beyond the railings without intruding. Both of which are annoying because it would be interesting to see what's happening on other sides.

Hello Susan. Yes. The tree and the railings, though distinct, do form a sort of unity.

Hello Toffeeapple. I don't know what kind of tree this is but it's definitely not a Yew. One person suggested a Lime. Another a Black Poplar. I should have paid more attention to its flowers in spring because there don't appear to be any fruits to help with ID now we are heading to autumn. When the leaves fall I can photograph them - that might help. (They are high and dense so it's a bit awkward to take clear leaf photos during the summer.)
