Oh sorry I thought your reply was to the sooty bark on maples.
The photos are a co-dom grand fir where the two stems grafted back together higher up. There was one spot on the driveway where you could see daylight through the two trunks. This was on a saturday quote. Last tuesday there was another douglas, where the co-dom stems crossed, grafted, then continued to do another 90 degree helix twist.
Then this grand fir, between the honeybuckets. All co-doms that grafted back to themselves
This is the Doug, horribly hard to photo.

I thought someone might find this interesting. I was digging up stumps and this one was a TOH Ailanthus altissima. Stump was about 20 inches. The root structure of these trees is crazy. The primary tap root shown was 6ft. The broken one was over 6ft. The secondary roots were several feet from the tree. I had to cut most of them with the stump bucket. They were several inches in diameter. The owner is calling for a bulldozer. Too much work for the 39 HP tractor. We have about 30 to remove behind the house.

Is this odd or do you have Hawthorns big enough to kill?
Around here I think of 2.5 inch thorns as healthy sized, so this one caught my eye, but it wasn’t alone it’s brothers and sisters were up to its shoulders.

Ginkgo with odd growth known as “chi-chi”
Red Maples in the woods that inarch grafted to each other.

Ever see a cockspur hawthorn? Spikes on spikes on spikes.

That camperdown is wild, all the ones I get to work on remind me of Marge Simpson needing a hair cut.

Never seen this cultivar before. Just opening up, probably a week later than it’s neighbors. Property is wild with cool shit.

Sappho sounds like a cool name for something.

I love those, our local gas station has one. As they develop they get more white on outsides

Did it grow on a nurse log? Or did the soil erode ?

Soil erosion. It’s growing on the side of a gully.
