Pretty cool how trees can grow and engulf things. Do you save chunks like that to display? I have several that I put aside including a piece of Norway maple that grew around a guy wire.
No I will trim off enough fence to cut it in 2 and make splits. I saved one piece of oak that had an ID plate attached.
I did not realize, until just now when I looked up sugarberry, that sugarberry is the same as hackberry. And also did not know that the berries are good to eat....
I’ve got a few small ones in my yard that the birds must have planted. It’s hard for any saplings to survive the firewood traffic. I worked at a house in an old neighborhood that had a mature grove of Hackberry. They are not as common as Oak, Hickory, Red Maple and Pines. Probably the second time I’ve scored any.
Very few and far between here IME. I know of only two off the top of my head including one in the front yard of my folks old place. Kind of a bucket list score for me even though its not great btu's.
