Cedar tree peculiarity
Here’s an odd-looking cedar tree in the middle of the Gabriola forest. What has made the bark do that weird bumpy thing? Oh wait, look around the side. (Second photo.) Looks like the bark has been very deliberately cut.
I know about Gabriola’s culturally modified trees, which are trees from which bark was removed for First Nations’ use. Did somebody intend to harvest bark from this cedar tree, but then not complete the job? If so, why?
