What's the main reason that you rarely see an obese tree?

1. It's a jungle out there

The competition is terrific.

[Dr. Strange]

2. Two words: photo synthesis.

Or is that three words?

[Orsino]

3. Other: it's the MSM's obsession with being thin...

...that ensures that healthy trees never get camera time.

[Boojatta]

6. Surely you aren't saying that it's rare for you to see a tree outside of TV?

4. They don't eat meat. nt

8. But I've never seen a fat Venus Flytrap, either, and they eat meat.

[Ilsa]

9. Hmm. But VFT is not a tree, is it? nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Maybe it could be a tree if it ate enough meat.

It could start out with larger bugs, move up to frogs, then birds and mice; after that, woodchucks and rabbits and deer; and once they can eat cows they can be really big, scary trees. Maybe even fat ones.

[Ilsa]

11. That's one damn scary plant. Might make a good movie or play? ;-) nt

[DarkTirade]

5. Because they just move so damn fast.

[ileus]

7. God doesn't give his trees free will...

[Hand]

12. Other...

Insh'Allah. :rofl:

14. Xylosuction

15. They're all French?

You never see fat French anything.

17. What about this one?

It looks a bit pudgy, if you ask me.

[Boojatta]

18. It could be a pregnant tree.
