    Father’s Day storm victim I decided to work on yesterday. Was in the 40s in the morning and I took advantage. Nice size oak tree , got a good amount done. New HT105 pole saw came in real handy too. Crazy looking growth to it , never seen the likes. Right after trunk branches off a limb grew in to one side then back in to other. Also took a limb to tractor radiator so had to cut the day short. Still productive! 834392A0-7652-43F4-9548-BAAF81E86271.jpeg EB693E90-D6A7-4287-B3A4-11B56FF7AC62.jpeg DD34E598-A978-42F9-A1B0-B493A48D4DBE.jpeg A88499D0-4159-458A-8710-B20C404B960F.jpeg 307F881F-525A-4A0B-AD84-E8F484E46236.jpeg CA08FA19-B64F-4718-8633-DA7756C7E752.jpeg

    Never seen that before, thanks for sharing Mykidsdadd . Looks like a productive day as well.
    Stinks about the radiator.

    Thats a gnarly big one. Kinda cool the freak of nature growth. I call it a siamese twin log. Ran into something similar on a cherry i cut last year. [​IMG]

    I have hackberry in my woods that have merged with oak. I’ll have to take a pic it’s the weirdest thing.

    Would expect that odd growth on a maple rather than oak

    I am calling it a Bur oak. The bark does not look oak like I know but the leaves , and well the acorns of course are a dead give away!

    I see Burr on occasion; not near as prevalent as other oaks in our area. Nice score!!!

    Yeah, kind of rare to see them - and this one is a monster. I will post some photos after I get trunk cut up to show the scale. Pics didn’t do it justice.
