    Oh, what a pity, it looks like it was a lovely tree for photos! Your first pic in particular is very nice, the lightning is great.

    Cheers,

    OMG! What a shame... Can it be saved? Or is there rot in the roots? I'm so sorry!

    Was it a fortuituous tragedy or a bad action by man? Anyway the tree is still alive, right? The pic is awful and awsome at the same time!

    CAN PROPAGATION BY WAY OF CUTTINGS BE TAKEN FROM THIS DRAGON TREE ? I HAVE SEEN ROOT/TRUNK ROT IN THESE TREES BEFORE, A GOOD EXAMPLE IS IN BRISBANE BOTANICAL GARDENS. MAGNIFICENT TREES !!
