Left: a stand of sycamore trees was lost and sits with a pile of debris.
Left: The Secrest Arboretum was famous for its impressive stands of crabapple trees that provided a spectacular show of blooms every spring. The stand above (Crablandia I) was a long-term research plot for the International Ornamental Crabapple Society. While this plot of trees is essentially destroyed, another newer plot (Crablandia II) mostly survived.
