Volunteer Paulownia

[redbird]

This paulownia tree is a volunteer, growing out of a crack between the sidewalk and a cement wall, and probably damaging both. The branches are reaching sideways for the light, and block the sidewalk, especially after a few days without rain. (I suspect this block wouldn't be wheelchair accessible even without the trees, given the slope.)

Gosh yes, that's a narrow walking path alright. Pity it doesn't extend along the fence instead.

Go little tree.

That is vertigo inducing steepness!
