What do you get when you cross a birch with a basswood tree?

I had snapped these pics back in April and meant to post then.
Just a bit into our woods a basswood slowly growing around a birch.
looks like the are "mating" in the second pic!!!
Anyone else have something like this in your woods? Pics please!

 

I'd kill the basswood and save the beech.


Hmmm.. little more violent than was intended.

 

It was a birch. Im trying to cross breed a hybrid! A lite weight fast growing higher btu wood!
Before i die, id like to see the basswood fully engulf the birch! If im still living here.

 

Still save the beech.


Maybe it's time to log off for the night.

 

You do realize that isn't the proper method of hybridizing.

 

nah! Birch or beech...5 letters, tree that starts with a "B"? Sounds like a goof id make!
Hope you and the Mrs. are staying cool!

 

Not a terrible day, 84 with rain and the accompanying humidity, but I wasn't working wood, so there's that.

 

I DO, but i dont think they really care. Both appear very happy together! I even tried hosing them down with cold water. Didnt work!

 

Chazsbetterhalf approves of the song selection as well.

 

I got a hedge or pine something sprouting out of one the maples roots in the yard. I let it go just to see what happens
