love and hate in the forest

[nas]

I found these trees in the woodlot I am cutting cedar in

White eastern cedlock? (white cedar and hemlock)




Whitellow cedirch? (white cedar and yellow birch)





The last picture is a knife blade stuck in what I think is a black ash.

Too bad they can't form some kind of hybrid.

Not much snow in your neck of the woods nas. ;D

The trees seem to be getting along nicely, for the most part.  I guess somebody caught that Black Ash runnin' around with their Sweetgum, eh? ;)

[WDH]

Sweetgums are bad about being prolific .

Nas, great title for a thread ;D.

I think this one eyed bandit did the knife job, but he's not saying anything

[WDH]

Yes, we better keep an "eye" on him ;D.

I figured them trees were cold.  Thats why they was hugged up together. ;D

Theres a hackberry-honey locust growed together like that in the woods where I'm cutting now. Really caused me to do a double take when I was skidding a log by it. I'll try and get a picture of it, it is really interesting where the two knarlly barked trees join together.

[WDH]

When the bumps meet the thorns :D.

Those love hate relationships can take allot of attention.  Especially with a cyclops involved...... :D

[DanG]

This is a good Forestry lesson for us all.  When you see a one-eyed tree begin to salivate, you'd better cover your Ash.
