The square Knot Tree
I found this unusual and unlabeled tree on the Internet and I labeled it “The Square Knot Tree”. I’ve learned this figure during scouting in my elementary school days.
Travel around the world and see some of the most astonishing species of trees. I would like to see all these trees personally one day.

I wish I had an ax and a plane ticket to some of these places. I’d want a souvenir.

Climbing the Gloucester Tree looks like so much fun! I love the square knot tree as well. It’s also astounding to realize how old those trees are–imagine the history that went on under their branches all those years! Great work and a truly enjoyable article!

On August 3, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Yeah thats really a granny knot. A square is different.
On August 5, 2008 at 5:13 pm
That’s not a square knot, though. It’s a granny knot.

Interesting…hard to believe you did not include Bristlecone Pines in eastern California. They are the oldest living things on earth. And the Mendocino Tree in northern California which is the current tallest.
On August 10, 2008 at 1:40 am
what about the redwoods in northern california. i would have thought that an article about specatcular tress would have included at least one redwood. regardless, it was a great article. thanks!

The last tree would come out as a granny knot not a square knot.
On August 13, 2008 at 12:49 am
The square knot tree? Look at the knot more closely and maybe revisit the knot tying guide from your scout handbook and you’ll see that the knot is actually a double overhand knot, or commonly called the ‘granny’ knot. the difference is in the rope (trunk) entering and exiting on each side transits either both over or both under the loop from the opposite… it’s what makes a square knot stay square when pulled tight and what makes it both strong and easily untied after being put under strain. a granny knot almost has to be cut loose after being pulled tight.
On August 13, 2008 at 12:59 am
thanks to all of you guys especially for those who called my attention about the square knot,i’ve double checked it and i agree with you guys that it’s a granny knot, my apologies for that,i overlooked it.thanks again

Hi Robert,
Many thanks for your excellent posting of these beautiful trees which is most appreciated.
Keep up the excellent work.

In the last picture the tree is not in a square knot. The tree has been grown into the shape of a “granny knot”, which is a faulty way of making a square knot.
