Cannabaceae

Typical street in Coral Gables, Florida

A tree tunnel is a road, lane or track where the trees on each side form a more or less continuous canopy overhead, giving the effect of a tunnel.

The effect may be achieved in a formal avenue lined with trees or in a more rural setting with randomly placed trees on each side of the route.[1][2]

The British artist David Hockney has painted tree tunnels as a theme,[3] as especially illustrated at a 2012 solo exhibition of his work at the Royal Academy in London, England.[4] The English landscape artist Nick Schlee has used a tree tunnel as subject matter.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
