    That is an ex tree [conifer]
    It's not even pining for the fjords.....

    The only way that can be revived is by spray painting it green  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The green parts might carry on growing for a while but it'll never be a thing of beauty.

    The tree is gone!!! My father finally accepted the tree was passed it's sell-by date. It's now warming us on a cold Saturday night. Thanks for your help. Hope all is well with you.

    He needs to take his head out of the chimney. It's only a dead tree! There are other trees.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
