Ever noticed a strange, rounded growth bulging out of a tree trunk in Smyrna or elsewhere around Metro Atlanta? That's called a burl, and it's more common than most homeowners realize. Our latest blog post digs into what actually causes these growths and whether they're something to worry about.
Burls form when a tree experiences some kind of stress, injury, or growth disruption, and the tree responds by producing a dense, deformed cluster of grain around that spot. They're usually not dangerous to the tree's health, but they can be a sign worth understanding, especially on a tree you're keeping an eye on for other reasons.
If you've got a tree with an odd bulge or growth that's had you curious, the full post breaks down what's happening beneath the bark. Link in the comments.
