Tree Damage

Posted on October 4th, 2009 by WhiteSong

In the blue photo with the full large tree you will notice a fork at the top of it. I planted this tree from a seedling that sprouted in my planter where I moved to my current residence. When it was about 15 ft tall or so, I went out one day to find the top of several of my smaller trees in various locations of the property had been snapped off and left there. There was no reasonable explanation for this. Even a raccoon would not have bee able to snap this healthy tree and the height of it was also curious for other any explanation other than symptoms of Sasquatch passing through my property as they do from time to time.

The photo of the tree with the broken limb was also a mystery. There had been no inclement weather to cause the damage; it was too high for deer damage and too tall for a human to split it apart at the fork, which would be incredibly difficult to do in the first place. One would at least need to be shoulder height to it to have leverage for this and it would need to be a very tall person. These incidents happen all over but people fail to pay attention or question them, “How could this happen?” but when accompanied by other "symptom" things begin to add together.
