interesting
I'm thinking that's a manmade lake that is used for flood control?
and the tree was there when they built the lake, how lond ago was that?

I remember when they lowered the level of the lakes, which were flooded in the 50's during the Tobique Hydro project. There was alot of such wood, 'dry kye' as we all called it, all along the shore line. They brought in bulldozers and escavators to clean it up in the late 80's. Then it was burned. It was a shame that wood was not cut, just drowned out. Cords and cords and cords gone to waste. It was mainly spruce and fir. Before they cleaned up the lake shores it was quite a mess. What was odd, at the time period they flooded it out there were still river drives on the Tobique.  I think it was expropriated from the Fraser Lumber Co. and became property of the NB Power Commission. Back then they seemed to be able to do as they wished and took away alot of livelihoods along the Tobique. My grandfather had a guide outfitting business and owned riperian rights on the river, all stripped away for progress. ::)

I thought conifer also, but I'm not familiar with any species with such a large tap root
all the Norway and blue spruce that blow over around here aint got a root deeper than two feet

Mike after you pointed that out, I was thinking the same. But some pine do have a semi-tap root. Just a wild guess here, I'm thinking white oak.  ???

I am with Tom,looks like pine to me. We live a mile from a Corp of Engineers reservoir and when the water is down you can find quite a few of these.

I'd say pine too.  Jack pine have pretty impressive taproots.  When the Road Comm. cleared for the new garage the jack pine stumps were harder to push out than red oak ones.  The oaks had a root ball the jack pine had a root 8)

My dad filled up his flower gardens with old roots from the woods.  Mostly white oak, they look sorta like that.

Larry

Mike had a pretty good guess...location is Beaver Lake Arkansas, a corp lake built in the 60's.  Right now the lake is about 15' low exposing all kinds of interesting stuff.  Mostly a hardwood forest area.

Really like Franks idea. ;D  The corp does take a dim view of people removing things from their property. ???

Chart those stumps, holes and ridges.  They will hold fish when the water comes back up. ;D
