Black she oak
Posted: August 16th, 2020, 1:18 pm
About a year ago I was in the the big green shed for unrelated matters and I'm sure like a lot of people here, regardless of the usual quality, variety and price of the plants there, I find it hard not to at least have a quick look, this time it paid off for me, well I think so, I found this little black she oak, it has some nice rough bark, a bit of taper and it was $12, I couldn't help myself.
I tipped the top and designated a new leader which even stood up on its own without wire which i thought was pretty cool. I'll be honest i dunno what to do with it so for the time being I'm just going to enjoy it for what it is until I can draw a better picture, any ideas are more than welcome.
All is good but what i have noticed is where the branches meet the trunk and at the cut site it has swollen callouses like knuckles, i dunno what they are, is this typical? Is it just juvenile growth behaviour? Or it something else?
Cheers Beau
