Three Ash Trees Stand Upside Down at the Fredericton Botanic Garden

Three ash trees killed by the emerald ash borer now stand upside down at the Fredericton Botanic Garden. CBC reports that what began as a joke became a popular attraction — and a reminder of the threat facing the hundreds of ash trees still on the property.

It is an odd monument: a tree killed by an insect, displayed on its head, still standing over the ones that remain.
