RE: Walk With Me In Nova Scotia - Day 12
How simple and lovely! I will certainly be posting a "walkwithme" post! Most of my walks turn into herb walks where I'm attempting to identify plants. That tree with the crazy bumps by the way is called burl. Well the bumps are burl. They are really cool and when cut open are beautiful inside. I don't think it's bad for the tree other than that woodworkers like to harvest the burls off of trees to use for the beauty of the wood and can kill the tree by doing that.
Happy Birthday by the way! ENJOY IT!
I was racking my brain trying to think of Burl... doh
Oooh right on, thank you for letting me know the name of the bumps, BURL I got it! And I would Loooovvvve to go for a herb walk with you hehee that would be Amazing :) Please do! Thank you for the Birthday wish <3
I was blanking on the name, too! Here's the wiki on them. I knew they could happen from insects but it also says mold or just stress in general:

Well if I ever travel to your "neck of the woods" maybe we can go on one. I love to travel and meet new plants!
