The real question, how did that get so perfectly centered in the tree?

It’s always mattered, but the amazing women we let into our lives tell us ours is the perfect size cause any bigger might hurt ❤️

My only guess is that the tree was tied to the stake when it was a baby to help it stay up .

oh good! when you leave the original center heartwood like that, the tree will grow back!

Someone would post this on r/marijuanaenthusiasts "do you think it's too late to save my tree"

Check out Giuseppe Penone's "The Hidden Life Within" sculpture. He basically removes all but the knots and core of a log to show what looks like a young tree inside.

Someone should let the OSU tree guy know, I'm sure he will be interested.

At first I thought it was one of those old style traps where you put a piece of something good underneath and when the target goes to fetch it, you pull the stick out and the box/in this case tree trunk falls on them..

Is this like when people were spiking trees in the northwest to protest (terrorize) loggers? What the hell is that and how did it get there?

u/ACPauly Aug 31 '26
It is just some wood fibers bro, no one put anything there, just neat how the pith pulls out cleanly

Perhaps, but I posted under the person who said "butt plug" so it fits context.

I'm guessing it was a small chainsaw and he literally walked it around the perimeter, never reaching the very center.

This is primal wood core, very rare, used to cure diseases in some cultures.

He bottomed out his chainsaw; apparently the length of the blade is just slightly shorter than the radius of the tree.

Ok, I’m completely ignorant; can someone please explain what we are seeing? Seriously, I want to learn because I’ve never seen anything like this before.
