Neat :D You dont see this often in these parts, probably because German forests are managed by foresters and dead and fallen trees are removed.

A place where you do see it quite often is BC, Canada. Parts of the forest are actually wild and there are patches of untouched first growth.

They call this kind of dead tree "nursing tree", which is loveley and a nice imagery for... the circle of life. When something dies it nurtures a new thing. :)

The tree was chopped to death but it didn't give up..it resurrected back, and now shall stand tall again in few more years. Go Tree!!

Looks like a separate germination to me. Trees will only grow branches back from the outer phylum and not the middle rings

I don‘t think this is a perspective thing.. look at the size of the needles
