Photos of the Burl Tree taken on
Saturday, 7/11/2009 - (continuation of study).
"Looking behind the tree".
The Burl Tree and the old building floor from road side.
The location from
the road side is deceiving -
the burl tree grows in the side of a drainage ditch 6 feet below.
The burl tree is approximately 44.6" DBH from road side.
Height from Ground level to bottom of the fork is about 11 feet.
