Rampick is Norse (I thinkĀthe term was shared by my brother, who studied
dead languages.) for snag. The Norse were among the ancient Europeans who
worshipped great trees. I think the word sounds appropriately reverent for
these rare historic relics, the ghosts of American chestnut trees long dead.
Go have a look. We are the last generation to see what remains of the
ancient ones, until a cure comes, and a few centuries pass.
