The Coolest Tree Ever


I walk by this tree every morning from the bus to campus but today I noticed flowers blooming amid the "branches".

The trunk looks like a normal tree, and there are leaves way up high but in the middle is this bramble bush. It was just above my head.
I think I took a picture of the small, round pods awhile ago and I wondered what they would turn into.

According to its name tag, the tree is protected by a city ordinance and was planted by Thornton Wilder. I wonder where he got it?

I should look up more often!
