[–]Toshiaki22 14 points15 points ago

I lost it [0]

[–]crowshead 3 points4 points ago

Don't ask me how but I ended up at this video as a result of your comment

Your_Moms_a_tree

[–]ambisexterous 28 points29 points ago

That's happened at least once already. The front page was nothing but actual trees for about a day. People were asking for gardening tips, and everyone just went along with it for the sake of the joke.

Actually, wasn't a weeping willow on the front page of trees last week?

[–]alolerboy 16 points17 points ago

I think that was the day I found this place. I left the same day, came back a month later, and woah'ed.

[–]greenbacks242 2 points3 points ago

just out of curiosity, is there actually a sub reddit for real trees?

[–]alolerboy 1 point2 points ago

Best I got was this.

[–]nonamemaddox 0 points1 point ago

Sorry.

[–]micknkeef 1 point2 points ago

no joke that is exactly what happened to me last year sometime, someone tells me about r/trees in my lurker days, I go to it, and I'm like "go where now?"

[–]tbitt 13 points14 points ago

Or when someone accidentally posted a picture of his radio thing and we joined forces for about a week.

[–]alwaysonthemoon 1 point2 points ago

That was a good time...

[–]Agehn 5 points6 points ago

That was April Fools' day of this year or last year. It was planned in advance.

[–]Joshuagamer2 3 points4 points ago

OP, nice name xD

[–]xILOVEBLUMPKINSx[S] 2 points3 points ago

Thanks man.

[–]Addyct 1 point2 points ago

April 1st two years ago. Good stuff.

[–]tesseracter 1 point2 points ago

As admin of /r/bonsai, that day was heaven to me.

[–]leechsucka 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it was for April Fools, I had to unsubscribe for those two days. It was getting ridiculous.

[–]Shasve 14 points15 points ago

On my first days on reddit I wanted to find pictures of trees to paint so i naturally typed in /r/trees. I was suprised as /r/trees was blocked by the government of the country I live in. So I enabled hotspot shield and was greatly surprised!

[–]alwaysonthemoon 13 points14 points ago

If you don't mind me asking, what country do you live in.

[–]Shasve 5 points6 points ago

United Arab Emirates. They block /r/trees, /r/atheism and some other subreddits with nsfw content.

[–]Herollit -1 points0 points ago

TIL a new country

[–]Shasve 0 points1 point ago

You probably have heard of Dubai or Abu Dhabi. These city states or "emirates" are located in the UAE.

[–]VbolieuV 7 points8 points ago

Wait...what? How can a government do this? Damn politics, I never understand them.

[–]tacomanmcjab 5 points6 points ago

May I recommend Tor.

[–]TheFilthyRealist 3 points4 points ago

Yes, I too am very interested to know which country, and any other information. Very interesting stuff.

[–]Zactar 9 points10 points ago

/r/perennialwoodyplants

[–]eyddi88 0 points1 point ago

Actual trees. Like wood and such.

Great description!

[–]osmigos 14 points15 points ago

Found this maple in my backyard

Killed me

[–]KittyAbyss 8 points9 points ago

Haha yes! This is exactly what i thought of when i heard of this subreddit.

[–]Amethyst485 6 points7 points ago

I came to reddit for funny and wtf pics. Then i stumbled upon this community. I'm from ny, never heard the terms "trees" or "ents" till I came to reddit. I even used urban dictionary the first couple times... Lol. When did potheads or stoners get old? Regardless, lovin it here. Uptokes for simple mistakes.

[–]myentusername 4 points5 points ago

Ah fuck yeah shell32.dll I knew I recognized those trees

[–]LlamaHunter 3 points4 points ago

Wouldn't it make more sense that the downvotes would be the roots of the trees instead?

[–]Chrome_Sponge 6 points7 points ago

Pineapples don't grow on trees silly.

[–]surger1 4 points5 points ago

blew my mind when I first learned that

[–]biscuitinmytea 1 point2 points ago

It must be beyond your wildest dreams...

[–]jjwalla 1 point2 points ago

For my first 3 months on reddit I completely thought it was about trees, but I never clicked the link to the actual page, then when I was bored I decided to check it out and right away I knew I was home

[–]carsonig 1 point2 points ago

I love when my uptoke makes the post have 420 uptokes.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I completely lost it XD

[–]qeez 1 point2 points ago

hahaha me to man!!!!!

[–]TheDuckExtremist 2 points3 points ago

Lost it or are you also naked?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I'm always naked :D

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points ago

I'm a girl _^

[–]qeez 1 point2 points ago

okok :pppppppp

[–]UntamedVillans 0 points1 point ago

Although, the melboure botanical garden is a gorgeous place

[–]ThatBassIsFishy 0 points1 point ago

Wait, so you're saying that's not what this subreddit is for?

[–]ThePerfectZen 0 points1 point ago

Woah, thats a busy sub reddit.

[–]polypolyman 0 points1 point ago

quickmeme has aleppo pines now? Hooray!

[–]Beezzy 0 points1 point ago

What /r/trees really is..;)

[–]yeahhhboiiiiiii 0 points1 point ago

hey garrett its jt

[–]kidkaos 0 points1 point ago

When r/trees was still young they actually posted trees for an entire day, I was so confused

[–]JJSwagger 0 points1 point ago

Shouldn't the down votes be the roots?

[–]pat_man 0 points1 point ago

I remember I came to /r/trees after being on /weed/ for months. Someone mentioned how /weed/ was the angry old stoners while /r/trees was the friendly stoners

[–]jrnk33 0 points1 point ago

I saw a poster from watching WWE best of Raw and Smackdown, happened to be burning trees my self, and a nice yellow neon sign appeared in the crowd, lol....im quite impressed I knew where to go from a simple sign that read "r/trees"

[–]TheIndigoBaron 0 points1 point ago

Well, welcome friend.

[–]Tim94 0 points1 point ago

I thought the top picture was a bud at first

[–]noswodkcaj 0 points1 point ago

This was the reason I checked out r/trees in the first place..But I thought it would be like environmentalists or something..

Been an ent for over a year now =)

[–]sturgepv 0 points1 point ago

R/trees actually looks like this for one day a year, that day being april fool's of course XD

[–]papiwoldz 0 points1 point ago

Found this maple in my back yard.

A tree of that size isn't something you just stumble upon in your own back yard, is it?

[–]Zagaz 0 points1 point ago

What subreddit is OP's pic from?

[–]xILOVEBLUMPKINSx[S] 1 point2 points ago

Photoshopped everything in sir. Photo was screen capped from /r/trees and I added everything.

[–]Zagaz 0 points1 point ago

..oh. Well done then!

[–]Friendly_Enty_Ent 0 points1 point ago

"Just found a maple in my backyard" That's fucking brilliant. A gigantic tree has been growing in your backyard for a while and you haven't noticed it until now. Firsrt thing you think of is to post on /r/trees. where was i going with this? Well, I think i wanted to say that it's prertty accurate and similar to the times when people find marijuana plants in their backyars, so yeah. that's pretty cool. [7]

[–]mar109us 0 points1 point ago

wow, shit i have a maple tree in my backyard. never seen it before, better post it on r/trees!

[–]AnonTheTerrible 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was a nature thing...

[–]VeryMild 0 points1 point ago

Maybe the trees subreddit should rename themselves r/cannabis?

[–]Zagaz 0 points1 point ago

r/cannabis already exists. You should check it out, they post some rather interesting links.

[–]Megadajik 0 points1 point ago

Lol, wrong, but those look like great smoke spots. Giggidy

[–]Megadajik -1 points0 points ago

Lol, wrong; but those look like great smoke spots.

[–]FrodoTheHobo -1 points0 points ago

I was scared to go here at first cause i thought trees meant penises, i'm happy it did not.

[–]Drugerts -1 points0 points ago

Wait this isn't what r/trees is like? [8]
