Burls develop when a tree sustains an injury, or from a viral or bacterial infection, or when a branch bud fails to develop properly. It must have quite a chore getting this more than 20 ton burl out of the forest but here it is without even one small sign pointing to it’s resting spot in a parking lot on the outskirts of Port McNeil. Look for the baseball field on the western end of Broughton Blvd and turn south into the parking lot.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV and the burl can be seen without exiting your vehicle.
This is a big one,can make a table out of it...
ReplyDeleteYeah, lots of tables! We wondered about the value of all of that wood because it's prized for the patterning.
