USA: tree survives at the top of a court since 1870

For several years a simple tree brings tourists from all parts of the United States to Greensburg, Indiana. But this is not a tree either, actually. Situated on top of a court, the 35 m above the ground, the tree can be seen since 1870 and her weird presence is why myths.

According to Michelle Hess, who works at the Beach Tiki Bar and Grill, just in front of the Court, one of the myths claims that have been a bird to bring the seed of the tree â€" a mulberry; his colleague Scott Anderson, however, has another theory: the wind took the seed to the top of the Court.

More curious is the fact that the tree continue to subsist without soil and water â€" and its longevity, of course. Even if not everything is what it seems â€" but we're already there.

According to Michelle Hess, the tree brings thousands of tourists to the small town of 11 thousand inhabitants, especially on weekends. "I've met people who travel from Alabama to Indiana just to see the tree," explained the Inhabitat.

There's a lot to the people of Greensburg capitalize on this curious phenomenon. Apart from auto-intitularem of "tree City" â€" Tree City â€" they compiled various contents on the mulberry and its history.

It is clear that the original tree, seen for the first time since 1870, no longer exists. She died and was eventually removed in 1888, but two others remained â€" arrived to measure 4.5 feet. Since then, more than 12 trees replaced the first-today she has a gardener just for you.

On the weekend of 26 and 27 of September, in Greensburg, the Tree City Fall Festival-which includes a contest of gastronomy and the election of Miss Tree City. Is an authentic economy rooted in a tree, so that, in principle, we risk seeing a situation like this.
