Henry Ford Estate, Fair Lane Dearborn, Michigan Bur Oak Courtesy Henry Ford Estate, Fair Lane threat The greatest threat to this horticultural feature is time. Although relatively little die back has been observed over the past five years, the backside of the tree is almost completely hollowed out from repeated lightening strikes. Bracing has been installed within the hollow space, however, the exposed wood is subject to insect and fungal infestation, compromising the trunk and the tree in general. back \| next	American Sycamore Tree Azalea Collection Baldcypress Grove Bamboo Groves Banyan Tree Allée Camellia Collection Desert Ironwood Tree Elms of the National Mall Eucalyptus Tree Glendora Bougainvillea Horse Chestnut Tree Live Oak Tree Allée Moreton Bay Fig Trees Pear Trees Pow-Wow Bigleaf Maple Tree Rhododendron Collection Tree Peony Collection A Society of Royal Oaks Angel Southern Live Oak Tree Bur Oak Tree Cork Oak Tree Southern Live Oak Tree Home \| Map \| Exhibit \| Artists
