I'm not sure how it is in the rest of the world, but in the United States typically graves are kept clear. In this cemetery as well all graves but this one were clear. It's on the border between very interesting and mildly interesting. Additionally, with the size of that tree, it seems like it's been growing since the grave was new so I wonder if it was intentional.
