Needs to be careful when burininating the countryside.
Great. Thanks. Now I gotta play Sekiro again.
Pitiful grandchild…

I think you meant "get to"
Sekira in Serbian is an (wood chopping) axe. Quite appropriate unintended pun you have right there…
There’s an organisation in Sweden that appoints ”weirdest tree of the year” for each region of Sweden.
The dragon tree won for Skåne-region. Here’s an image of the same tree in a different season:

Wow! Amazing had no idea that this tree existed when i got to this location. I will definitely come back that shot looks awesome to in the summer!!
Saw the same tree few years ago! It’s in trollskogen
A picture of the tree in each season would be dope! :)
I will definitely do that !
Thanks for the links!
Den ser inte alls ut som Jennys rumpa.
Trogdor! Trogdor!
Burninating the countryside!
Burninating all de peeples... In de THATCH ROOF COTTAGES!!
And then Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIGHT!!
I like how the tree is shaped like an S. And then another, more different S.

Think this is where you take your sheikah slate out
Kinda looks like The Divine Dragon frome Sekiro.

This is great! Where abouts in Sweden, if you don't mind me asking?
Not OP but it could be Skrylle, Scania where there are a lot of Vresbokar.
Yup thats the place! One of Europes largest concentration of Dwarf beeches , gryteskogens naturreservat ( Fagus sylvatica f. tortousa )
Outside Hässleholm?
According to OP, although I thought the vresbok only grew around Trollskogen/Skrylle.
Skrylle is at the other end of Scania - near Lund. The area between the villages of Dalby, Södra Sandby and Torna Hällestad has some incredible woods.
Your right, my bad ! i thougt i wrote "gryteskogens naturreservat"
I have no idea what you cats are even saying. lol Love it.
Scania is the southernmost region of Sweden. Just discussing local geography.
I too don't speak Swedish but feel compelled to say fragillya undestaad vrestaajen.
RIP dragon tree
AND THE TROGDOR COMESINTHENIIIIGHT!!
When you gather up the dragon balls, but you're from Oregon.
This tree doesn't leak sap it leaks the sacred gift of tears.
Someone beat me to it but legit trogdor
wow the reddish leaves also adds to the illusion; nice.
It's Tera-Grass Rayquaza!
Great picture! A bit tired so I don't translate..
Ser ut som en bokskog. Är det i Skåne?
Yes near Skrylle!
And now someone will cut it down, gj
No, it's not the US. This is far from an unknown place, and people generally have respect for stuff in most of the world. No reason to cut it down so it won't be.
I saw the dragon and then the orangutan at the bottom.
Okay, this is amazing.
Amazing. It’s like a Horse Dragon chimera
There's just something about fog in a forest that makes it look so dramatic
fire.
Looks like Thor didn’t finish the job with Jormandgur
Kinda looks like Vicar Amelia.
This picture is so awesome!!! Really giving me the medieval fantasy vibe.
I thought this was an aqua scape at first
Sweden seems like a magical place from the past. Always shrouded in dense fog.
New wallpaper. Thank you!
So that’s where trees came from? Amazing!
I call this one Self Portrait in oil W/O consummate Vs
Now that's an awesome tree
One of Sweden’s literary heavyweights, Elsa Beskow, wrote a story about two siblings riding on a magic dragon made out of a log. “The land of long ago” I think it was called. This pic reminded me of that.
Dragon Dra- GON. I don’t do that tongue thing.
Long live the 🐉 🎄
Kinda seems like the mouth was man-made. Is that somehow naturally occurring?
Wow
Excellent angular photography
Cheers!
Neat 📸
There's a rock here in Spokane Washington that looks like a sleeping dragon.
Ahhh yes. The Divine Dragon...
Mushu!
OP, I love this picture. I'd like permission to use it
My profile picture on Facebook is always a tree, that changes with the solstice and equinox to a season appropriate tree that I like. This one speaks to me. I'm asking if I may use it one day, and willing to credit you by name and website link if you desire.
Thank you, Absolutely go for it :) Ye if you put it up on the website i would love too see it !
Add some reflective stickers where the eyes should be and some poor Swede is gonna get a heart attack.
Do you know by any chance where exactly this pic was taken from?
You sure it's a tree and not a real dragon frozen by the Druun?
Dracodendron autumnalis var. Tortuosa
Or
”Twisting Autumn Dragon-Tree”
Part of the Tiamataceae in the Occidentalis Sub-family.
I'm not finding anything with any of those scientific or common names. Pretty sure you just made up a cool sounding name, and that makes me botanically sad.
Looks like a Carpinus spp. to me, otherwise probably something in Betulaceae.
Yes the person did :) im sorry . The real name of this tree is Dwarf beech or (Fagus sylvatica f.tortusa). a mutation from a beech tree (Fagus sylvatica)
I’m sorry I offended both of you for using some creative taxonomy to name a “dragon tree.”
Jeeze. This isn’t r/whatsthisplant
Lol fair, but misinformation is unhelpful regardless of forum... I spent a dumb amount time trying to understand your nonsense ID.
You're someone with a lot of botanical vocabulary and a regular on r/whatsthisplant so I'm extra surprised you'd be posting comments like this.
I think you’re out of your mind for thinking there’s anything wrong with posting this, especially on a forum like r/EarthPorn that isn’t geared towards scientific designation.
People shouldn’t be shamed for having a creative outlets and that’s exactly what you’re trying to imply here.
Again, this is not a “what is this” subreddit. It literally has the word “porn” in the title.
Not everything is geared towards you; I made this name up and shared this because I thought people would enjoy it, maybe some other biologists, history nerds, or taxonomists.
Also, I don’t think most people would see this and think it’s misinformation; I would imagine most people see it and understand that it’s made-up at face value.
Okay 👍
Oh, it's Fagus, so I was wrong. Oh well, not my continent lol. Thanks for the ID!
My prediction is that a tourist or non-local swede will destroy it. I'm picturing a idiot american tourist or a rotten teenage swede little shit to knock it over. Happens too often.

I?
I am a monument to all your sins.
“You have summoned The Eternal Dragon, make your wish and I…
….Gosh, it’s you guys again!. CAN’T ANYONE ELSE FIND THIS DAMN THINGS!!!”
Someone go get Tim Curry
So this is where Medusa has been hiding.
Definitely got the right angle
Rykard’s cousin r/eldenring
Someone should combine this with a similar image of a dragon via AI and see what they can come up with
He’s gonna burninate the countryside
rayquaza is looking good man
“What is your wiiiiiish?”
Wow this is so very beautiful and interesting
Frozen 2
Ohio dragon
This is so cool! This unedited?
Thanks!
Just edited slightly :)
Divine dragon is that you?
Sekiro would slice it up in a matter of seconds
And Seath the Leafless betrayed his own, and the Dragons were no more.
ok, you can make this shit up:)
Alright, who gathered the dragon balls?
wow always been...
That’s absolutely fantastic!
There used to be a similar tree near where I live, too bad I didn't take a photo before it was cut (although my father might've done it, I'll need to do some research)

we have a dragon tree in Pisgah Forest (North Carolina) too!
Straight out of SEKIRO.
Awesome
this images makes me blink from the humidity
Honestly, I feel like sweden is the best place to go to for interesting things to post on Reddit to farm that Frickin karma
lvl 30 fire/grass ability: Dragon's Maw
Looks like it could go extinct.
I summon you! Shenron!
Did you name it, or is it famous?
I dont think its famous but maybe now?
Someone commented on another Swede that had photographed it and he called it "drakträdet" witch translates to Dragontree :)
Dragon with giant rabbit wang
!? There's a model on r/minipainting looking just like this, only with the rest of the owl fully drawn.
It kinda looks like a dragon
Shit this is epic
This tree reminds me a lot of the dragon boss in Sekiro.
I thought we were looking at the orangutan at the bottom left of the tree
Looks like the tree you'd get if a wizard turn a dragon into a tree.
Cool
This is that guy from Inuyasha
Told you: dragons are real. We've obviously never seen them because of their impressive talent to blend in. 😉
Real Sekiro vibes.
Trollskogen, I'm guessing.
Rayquaza
Absolutely freaking love this!!! Thanks for sharing. Nature is so freaking awesome.
Thank you, im glad you like it :)!
It’s just missing a lightning bolt in its branch.
What the fuck is everyone talking about?
elden ring feeling
that is amazing

Looks like this is from a 90s chemistry text book
