Burrs on a tree trunk in Norfolk, England. A burl (American English) or burr (British English) is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. Burl formation is typically a result of some form ...
A sphaeroblast is a woody extrusion from the trunk or branch of a tree, usually taking the form of a rounded spherical shape, as if the tree had a boil or mole. [1]Photograph of a sphaeroblast on the trunk of a weeping beech tree (Fagus sylvatica 'Pendula')
On the trunk, it typically appears like pityriasis versicolor; lesions there being slightly scaly and tan, brown, red or looking pale. [1] On the elbows, it may appear like psoriasis. [1] On the forehead, neck and trunk, the lesions may appear like seborrheic keratosis. [1]
The branching is unusual in that nearly all the side branches never have further branching. After a few years, each branch either terminates in a cone (either male or female) or ceases growth. After this, or when the cone becomes mature, the branch dies. New branches then arise from dormant buds on the main trunk.
Laetiporus sulphureus is a species of bracket fungus (fungi that grow on trees) found in Europe and North America. Its common names are sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods.
Pine-pine gall rust is economically significant because of its detrimental effects on lumber content, quality, and growth rate. Though the disease is not known to wipe out entire stands, it can kill individual trees. Due to the density of trees within managed stands on tree farms the disease can be much more severe.
Vertical water sprout on Prunus Water sprouts arising from epicormic buds within the trunk of Betula. Water sprouts or water shoots are shoots that arise from the trunk of a tree or from branches that are several years old, from latent buds. [1] The latent buds might be visible on the bark of the tree, or submerged under the bark as epicormic buds.
An early sign is what looks like a bleeding spot on the tree. A reddish-brown fluid will ooze from the wound site, giving it this appearance. Later, perithecia will form around the dead spot, which is another sign of the disease. [1] [2] Symptoms of beech bark disease can be observed in the foliage and on the bole of the tree. Foliage may ...
