ch312 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 while out for a walk with the dogs i came upon this and was wondering how long it would take for this to happen. i've seen trees grow round thing's before, but nothing like this...

Roy Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 The city worker might even still be in there doing the installation of the sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have a feeling someone put the sign inside the tree. Think about how long that would take, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip-ripper Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'd like to see the look on the guys face that tries to cut it down with a chainsaw--If he doesn't notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch312 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have a feeling someone put the sign inside the tree. Think about how long that would take, lol. on the right of the tree you can see a crease which goes from the ground straight up to where the top of the sign is and then stops. i'm thinking this is the "scar" from growing around the post. i examined it for a good 5 minutes and would bet my boat that the sign was there before the tree. chop it down and put it on ebay? if people have spent hundreds on an air guitar, this tree should do pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTHM Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 That looks to be a 20 - 25 year old Silver Maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locnar Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 I'm thinking it's a good ol' Manitoba Maple. Weed tree is what it is. I've seen them grow around/through a 10ft Chainlink fence. Useless trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.brock Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) I've seen a tree grow around a steel post before, didn't even know the post was in there until the chainsaw hit it, that was the end of that chain very cool picture though Edited January 21, 2013 by chris.brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spincast Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 little high up for the dogs to read it though isnt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's evolution, the tree knows nobody is supposed to park there ! Is the post in there too ? That's pretty cool ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless trees. You are correct, the barks are similar, and the small sucker branch at the bottom of the bole is a good clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Do you count the rings or the rust to age this tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
