Geocache Description:

Near an area that has several trees with tumors. Parking will be difficult in winter

A burl is a growth on a tree that is very rare and most often occurs when the tree has been damaged usually either by some sort of fungus or mold,or an insect attack. It often looks like a big round tumor growing on the trunk of the tree. Some burls have been found underground growing along with the roots. For the burl to be useful, it has to grow for at least 50 years, giving it a chance to contain unusual patterns.
Burl is highly prized by wood crafting artists because of its beauty and rarity. Some burls have incredible patterns inside due to the abnormal growth. Burl bowls are the most common use of burls and have gone for very high prices at auction. Burls from certain types of trees are used for different reasons. Some burls are highly prized for creating veneers for furniture and usually don't make good bowls, while others are used as inlay on a picture frame and many are used for trim on a variety of objects.

The neighborhood has many trees with multiple tumors. The Cache owner will give you bonus points if you post unique pictures of trees with tumors. Note: Bonus points are redeemable at the next event......
