What kind of tree?

[Pappy]

This is growing on my route. Not sure what kind it is, but I want to cry every time I pass it.





Other than it's size, nothing spectacular about this tree. Unles you look at the base of the trunk....

Never seen a tree take a dump before.

Seriously is that a burl of some kind?

[Ken Massingale]

Whatever it is, I believe it's a male.

LOL - you guys are too much!

[RayintheUK]

That looks like an olive tree to me, by the leaves and bark. Didn't notice any fruit, did you?

Ray.

[Hellrazor]

Its a frustration tree...

[cgallery]

I think it is MDF!

[Deadhead]

I think it is MDF!

Hahahaha!!!!

[Joe Lyddon]

Can you show us some long shot pictures... of whole tree... from maybe 2 different directions?

[Stytooner]

I think it is MDF!

Hard to tell. That could explain the swelling at the base.
You'd really have to get a close look at the nuts. MDF nuts would be very very flat and heavy.

A constipated tree - maybe!

[pierhogunn]

looks similar to a type of oak tree that grows here in the coastal areas of NC, it is an evergreen oak, and has nice tight small leaves, dense branch cover, and a finley grained bark...
