I have read that in Quebec city there is a tree that has grown around a cannonball. It’s in the Upper Town (Haute-Ville) of Old Québec (Vieux-Québec) which is surrounded by fortress walls. This section of the city overlooks the St. Lawrence River.
Lodged at the base of the trunk, one story says that the cannonball landed here during the War of 1759 and over the years became firmly embraced by the tree. Another story says that it was placed here on purpose to keep the wheels of horse-drawn carriages from bumping the tree when making tight turns.
The next time I’m in Quebec city I would like to visit this part of the city and see the cannonball. How do you think the cannonball ended up inside the tree?
That is very interesting!!!! Mh mh. Maybe it was shot from a cannon. Does that answer your question? Maybe.
Maybe someone pushed the cannonball into the tree!!
That’s really cool it’s wierd how that happened.
