As big as tree is and as bad as it is twisted and mutilated it's gotta be way old. The tree is a good two feet through it's an oak. The road is about 70 years old. What happened to the tree the rest around it are normal trees. But then again they ain't near as old.
Awesome. Good to see some locals. I've seen several trees lately that seem to be markers down near me in the Boston mtns by lake fort smith park
Trees like those, that survived the saws of the first cutting of the virgin timber here in Arkanss
The growths that can be found on a few trees is what I'm trying to wrap my head around. Are they man Madeline how do they make them.
looks like a burl wood knot, have one near my site except it's at the base, possibly a marker ?
You are so right about that, Chadeaux. What's sad is that in my family only two generations ago that knowledge still existed. My grandmother knew so much, and I was too young to realize that it would be lost when she passed.Truth is, we're not as smart today as those folks were back then who had to rely on their ability to live in the wild and understand how the natural world worked.
That burl looked like it might have a snake in it on the lower right. When the leaves are off I'll go back and get good picture it to check out. View attachment 1365293
