Houston Burls in the Wild

Just an update. I investigated the first picture a little further and discovered that there was a lot of rot and a large hollow area just visible underneath. So, I guess that even if it was a burl, it isn’t going to be worth harvesting. I’m still curious about the pecan trees. I just don’t know what a burl is yet….

Your just gonna have to cut into one to find out. I dont want to ruin the surprise by telling you. I will tell you its pure treasure.

Interesting growth. It should be interesting to see. Is the tree still growing or is it dying?

Unfortunately, the tree is alive and well and doesn’t belong to me. It didn’t fall in the huricane either. Bummer…
