I noticed the "bicycle tree" in Scotland which has encapsulated a bicycle amongst other things as it has grown. It reminded me of a very old graveyard I would play in as a kid.

I always wondered if these were really lifted up there by the tree and if so whether that's unusual.

Nice! Includes Mythological and religious trees!
But does the article include a handy list of How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away?
This moves me. It affirms that grown trees have tremendous personality.
One of Wikipedia’s greatest contributions is collecting records like this that wouldn’t appear in a traditional encyclopedia.

The mind boggles haha
I can't believe this got past the Wikipedia editors.
Incredible
Why would it have been stopped? I don't see anything non-factual, and I regularly pass by that tree. It is well known and referenced [1].
