Oh, that is a good tree, nice.
Is that a heavy reduction on that included fork (hard to tell from this distance if it is)?
Nice move if so.
I'm assuming it has just been pulled back from property boundary?
Lots of evidence of pruning so it’s possible. This isn’t my post so I haven’t seen any more than you can.
The second photo shows the other side of the tree and I think there’s actually not included bark there—that’s just a deep furrow in the bark.
Catalpas have some of the weirdest structure of any tree.
And the second photo reveals a line there, which is possibly why that branch has been topped. Second photo does reveal more, thanks.
I know it's not yours but the only way, in my opinion, to build discussion is either be wrong or ask dumb questions. Don't know if you've noticed but Lemmy has quietened up considerably.
Haha I didn’t mean to imply it was a dumb question, just in case you didn’t notice.
Yes I have noticed. Kind of hard to sustain this community without many contributors but luckily I have a tree obsession so I’ll just keep doing my thing. Hopefully at some point more people will arrive and liven things up.
I appreciate your contributions as well.
I make them dumber than they need to be. Best way to get corrected and then a response to start discussion.
