My parents live in this town and the city legally can’t tear the tree down to build or anything because the tree has its own legal rights and they can’t do anything about it.

how does. how does this happen. how DID this happen

I love this story because this guy in the early 1800’s had so many great childhood memories of this tree and wanted to make sure it was protected no matter what. So he deeded the ownership of the tree to itself and everyone just went with it.

Then in 1942 this intense windstorm came and knocked the tree over. And people were bummed. But someone had saved an acorn from the original tree, so they planted that and now Son of the Tree That Owns Itself is over 50 feet tall.

And since this new tree is technically the offspring of the original tree it’s considered to have legally inherited the plot of land it’s inhabiting.

Two generations of trees owning land is amazing and if you don’t think this is the coolest thing get right out of my face.

To everyone who says the non Harry Potter bro is being an asshole: The Harry Potter fan needs to learn some basic etiquette. If someone says they’re not familiar with something don’t go dropping jargon on them. At best it shows you’re obsessed and you don’t know how to talk to people about anything else and at worst you look like an inconsiderate tool.

“Do you know Naruto?”

“Not really.”

“Like the anime?”

“No.”

“I’m a Chunin.”

“Congrats?”

Or

“Do you know Linux?”

Not really.“

“Like the Operating Systems?”

“No.”

“I use Crazed Snow-Weasel”

“Congrats?”

Y’all out here defending it just because the firsr guy likes Harry Potter and you can’t even be bothered to see how unbelievably awkward it is for thr 2nd person. I’m begging you all PLEASE read another book and stop this cult worship. Its unhealthy.
