#16: Video Game Trees
Is it just us or does this tree look extremely similar to the trees that they animated in Animal Crossing? It is crazy to think that the trees in the game and these trees in real life have such similar pixel quality! It is even hard to tell the textures apart. Is this real life?
As similar as the trees might be, this type of tree is called the Rising Sun, which is a cultivar of a type of eastern redbud. This tree happens to look like it has a specific pixel texture due to the new growth that is emerging on the tree. By a certain stage, the tree will be all one color and there will be no resemblance between the Rising Sun and the trees in Animal Crossing.
