I was scouting in the Richmond Hill neighborhood of Queens today when I saw this tree that appears to be devouring its “SLOW – CHILDREN AT PLAY” sign.
I’ve seen signs with bark wrap-over before, but here it seems like the tree is on the verge of gulping the sign down.
From the side, you can see how far the bark has had to creep to get over the sign. Not much further to go.
Awesome…One wonders how many trees are hiding street signs under their bark…

I suddenly had a presage of how human civilization will end…
At least to my eye that sign is Porcelain so I would guess that its been attached to that tree for the better part of 70 to 80 years.

There’s a hungry tree near the Graham Avenue L stop in Williamsburg, too. Can’t remember for the life of me if it’s on Ainslie or Devoe, but I’ve passed it a few times now.
