If Ghanaian Trees at Ridge Could Talk...?

Ah, Ringway Estates: a leafy, verdant place located very close to the apogee of Ghanaian (and colonial pre-colonial) suburbia: Ridge. I have always wondered whether this part of Accra ever gets hot, because the trees just seem to grow and grow...and grow!

















So huge they grow that I could not help but wonder--when I was in that part of town for a public service--whether if these trees could talk they would offer us a glimpse into the days pre-independence?

These must surely be a boon for historians seeking to understand variations in climate of the country. This particular tree stretches so high up--perhaps some 20-30 metres!!

I cannot but wonder what it has seen!
