What sort of tree?

Was the downed tree a brain tree? Interesting possibility - makes you think.
When I was a child

When I was a child, I got taken out of school on a friday in April of 83 to go with my grandparents to their camper in Foxboro to spend the weekend. And on Saturday, we drove to Braintree station and took the Red Line to South Station to the Children's Museum.
I always remembered riding the train and thinking how funny the name "Braintree" was and as if there was an actual tree with a brain instead of branches.
Lovely.

Dead branches abound throughout metro Boston. Live branches too, covering street lights and signs. No bucks, no branch busters.
