Do any of you notice different trees that stand out for one reason or another? Strange form, weird growths, or maybe perfect form? Just something that makes that tree stand out? I would like to see pictures of those trees in this thread!
Here is the Tree that inspired this, I have looked at it for years, but never had the camera with me until today. I wonder if anybody else has ever noticed a nose for trees?

Kevin · « **Reply #1 on:** May 27, 2002, 04:14:28 pm »

I like a cedar tree because they smell good and the boards are easy to carry.
Here`s another novel idea for you Jeff, start a tree zoo with all the different species of trees in one location.
You`ll need a high fence because some of them will be really tall.

Ran across this site up near Crystal Falls Michigan in the far western end of The U.P. The rock was obviously split apart as the tree grew. This tree is now dead, but a new rock splitter is growing now in the crack to the left. I stood and took in this site along the highway for a longtime.

Ron Scott · « **Reply #3 on:** September 08, 2002, 08:19:46 pm »

That's "Split Rock", a local reference point. There use to be a sign there along the highway noting it as such. I'll be going by it tomorrow on way to Iron River.

There is a tree that stands in the v where U.S 27 south and U.S. 10 east come togther just north of Clare MI. Its down in a little ditch surrounded by weeds and brush. I wonder if I am the only one that has ever noticed it? I call it the burl tree. The picture I have of it does not do it justice. I will try to get a better photo, but I have to stop on the expressway and run off to get one, and the timing and traffic never seems quite right when I go by with the camera.

This tree has a massive trunk that seems to be made up of burl upon burl upon burl. up the trunk on the limbs. everywhere. They were working on the highway this year and I thought for sure that the widening project would take this tree out. I was determined to get it somehow if it did, but a call to the county garage told me the tree will be staying. Probably forever. Aint it a shame that even when it dies because of its location it will never be able to be touched.

I'll just keep dreaming about the figure that must lie beneath the bark.

I got this picture off the back of the May/June 1986 Fine Woodworking magazine. Following is what the caption says:
Unlike most of us, Axel Erlandson preferred to do his woodworking with live trees. for almost 40 years, Erlandson bent, grafted, split boutnd and coaxed trees into extraordinary shapes. When he died, in 1964, Erlandson's roadside tree circus near Santa Cruz, Calif., contained more than 70 specimens, a few of which are shown here. Thought many of the trees died of neglect in the decades after Erlandson's death, 28 have recently found a home in a nearby botanical garrden and park.

These pictures of the trees were from 1986, I wonder what they look like now!

Jeff · « **Reply #9 on:** December 27, 2002, 06:42:57 pm »

I took this picture Christmas Day. It is of probably my Favorite tree to look at. It is a humungous White Oak that stands alone in a field on the Weidmen Rd. in Isabella county. It just seems to be perfect, winter or summer. No matter what angle you approach from the tree has the same shape.

I wish it was outside my window so I could see it more often but then I probably would start seeing boards instead of Natural Beauty.

I think this is a pretty cool Picture.

That type of germination and growth of yellow birch is quite unique as far as temperate hardwood go. You also get them on mossy covered boulders where the roots migrate through the moss to reach the main soil base. Conditions have to be just right though so the roots don't die in the dry times. I think the roots grow quite rapidly in yellow birch.

I've notice the red cedar, lodgepole pine and western hemlock along BC's NW coast as well, the ones along the shore line and lowland. It's funny though. I tend to look at a tree most times for it timber value.

And some of those were just ugly, but part of the landscape none-the-less. I guess you could think of them as the front row crop that allows the trees a bit further in to grow better timber. Sometimes you can go a long way in and still have crappy timber, depending on what it's growing on.

Those wind swept trees have inspired a good bunch of art though.

If you are looking at the shadows, you have to understand that the sun is down here in Florida and Poland is way up north on the other side of the ocean. So that means that the sun is a long ways south of Poland and that Florida is in the direction of the left side of the photo. North is to the right.

Now, if Poland had a sun, then North would still be to the right 'cause that is the way the trees are facing. $:-\$

The picture had to have been taken late in their afternoon or the sun wouln't be up in Florida yet.

I've see a whole field of red pine get broken down by ice when they were only 3 feet tall. Probably 25 acres.

Also, aspen damage from snow load, when the snow melts out and slumps from a huge drift it breaks down the stems. I've had them look like those tree buts in a couple sections. Not as much sweep though.

Hi everybody.

I have a few trees in my woods that are unusual. Yesterday I took pictures of a couple of them. The first is a white birch that at some time must have been uprooted and blown over but it kept right on growing, curving back up as it did. As you can see a crack has opened up in the base and through the bend. That crack is more than two inches wide in some places.

The other tree is a red oak that has a big ugly slanted base, but then turns into a straight tall and beautiful tree.

I don't know what happened to the oak to make it grow like that, but I wonder if the base of it would have interesting grain patterns if I sawed it on my mill.

"Out on a Limb"

From: Ryerson Review of Journalism written by Bruce Tisdale (1999)

Every so often even the best writers become too enchanted with a story. They are captivated, and perhaps a wish not to disturb the tale causes them to overlook any faults that might be found by less involved observers.

In his book, Company of Adventurers, Peter C. Newman is at times a very enchanted writer. The book is the story of the Hudson's Bay Company and its crucial place in Canadian history. While the work is extensively researched, one prominent anecdote reveals a shining example of enchantment leading to error.

Newman presents the tale in the first page of his foreword. Two men were hiking in northern Saskatchewan far from any other human contact. One night as the pair were preparing their camp they noticed something glinting high in a spruce tree. One climbed the tree and brought down, "a weathered copper frying pan with the letters HBC still clearly stamped on the green patina of its handle. The two men had their dinner and sat around the campfire, cradling and examining the intriguing object, asking themselves why anyone in his right mind would have hung it 40 feet up a black spruce.

"In one of those moments of heightened sensitivity that sometimes telegraph the flash of understanding, the truth dawned on them simultaneously. They broke into smiles that collapsed into belly-pumping laughter. Of course. The frying pan, much like the one they had just used to make their meal, must have been hung on a sapling by some long-gone Hudson's Bay Company trader. It had inadvertently been left behind the next morning, and the little spruce quietly continued growing-and growing."

Anyone with any knowledge of trees might already see a problem. Unfortunately Newman didn't and continued to promote the story, which he saw as a "graphic reminder of how deeply the Hudson's Bay Company is woven into the memories and dreams of most Canadians."

Last Nov. 4 Newman again related the anecdote-this time on CBC Radio's Morningside. Listeners wrote in to point out that the frying pan could not have reached its position in the tree simply through the tree's growth.

One wrote that "spruce trees, in common with all other trees, grow from the top. A frying pan or anything else for that matter, attached to a branch five feet above the ground 200 years ago would still be five feet above the ground today no matter how high the tree had grown in the meantime." Another used examples to illustrate the point: "Old tap holes in maple trees don't migrate skywards. Old telegraph transformers along logging roads stay at transformer height. The tree house that you built as a kid probably seems lower now, not higher."

Tree experts agree with the letter writers. As Philip Brennan, management forester for York Region of the Ministry of Natural Resources explains, "The way a spruce tree grows is by extending new shoots from buds on the old branches. By late summer, the new shoots have formed their own buds, so they can't extend anymore. The shoots can't extend, so the frying pan can't move." Brennan says the possibility of the frying pan's transference from shoot to shoot would be "a small miracle if it happened once," but this method couldn't possible carry a frying pan 40 feet up a tree.

At the University of Toronto a similar tall tree story is told in second-year forestry classes. "We use it as a fallacy that people hear," says Dr. T.J. Blake, associate professor of forestry. "It's an old wives' tale that's been spread around."

Somewhere in northern Saskatchewan stands a black spruce that was almost a legend.

From the Author of the book mentioned above:

"When the HBC papers, now lodged in the Provincial archives of Manitoba, had been valued for insurance purposes before being transfers from London to Winnipeg in 1974, they weighed in at sixty-eight tons- not counting the old muskets, sextants and other paraphernalia that pushed the weigh even higher..........

One exhilarating moment for me was reading the journal entry by James Isham of York Factory in the 1730's in which he complains how the swarms of mosquitoes 'have visited the plague of Egypt upon us'-and then finding a mosquito carcass, bloated with English blood, squashed right onto the page."
