It’s always fun when driving around Siouxland to come across what one might think of as an oddity of nature. When driving in rural South Dakota just over the Iowa border coming across a tree growing out of a silo made me think of a very large potted plant.
Somehow I am doubtful that a farmer planted this tree in the silo and possibly was as surprised as his/her neighbors when it finally topped the structure. I had to admit it did put a bit of a smile on my face when I saw it from a distance and then decided to drive a bit closer to see if it was real or not. Somehow I think it would make a great decorated Christmas ornament, but won’t hold my breath to see if the owner thinks that as well. But it does make a great country scene.

What a wonderful oddity, Jerry! I’m so glad you captured it on film and passed it along to us out in e-land. It rather changes my normal perspective on where trees grow on our Earth.
PS…the “pot” is very quaint itself.
Becky, Thank you. It’s fun to find such things by happenstance. Who knew? jerry
