There was a tree that had some on it but it fell off and now there is a big white spot on the tree. Neat pic I am a strong supporter of Catch and Reset trapping. It's the best practice for our sport!

I'm really not sure, but have heard it's from stress; injuries, parasites, insects, virus, or fungus. Maybe someone more in the know can chime in. Member NTA, MTPCA, FTA, NRA, MUCC 2 Cor. 5:17

Evidently, only slight irritation to the bark causes a gall. The gall grows to become a burl. The wood grain inside is sometimes beautiful with many birds-eye type grain patterns so woodworkers like them, especially for bowl making as they tend not to split. One I found seemed to show an early stage as it was growing many small branches which eventually die off the burl.
