They'll be listed under $100k and typically on lots that restrict use to 120 days/year. I've seen them in other states on realtor apps, but Washington state always has a few, usually north of Seattle.

All the foliage coming straight out of the trunk is concerning. Healthy, stable trees do not do that.

Arsenic Lupin posted:And some kinds of trees just like doing it on general principle. Ornamental cherries, for one. According to on the the foresters in my last ag extension course it's totally normal for a whole lot of trees when they are getting direct sunlight on their trunks. At least in this area, that's really obvious with our most common trees, because the ones in dense woods don't have this but the very same trees 15 feet away where the farm field starts are littered with suckers down to the ground on the sunny side. I have the same thing going on with a tulip poplar near my house that has become unshaded on one side since taking down a few diseased ash trees. While I'm sure it can indicate stress, root damage, etc like in the article that was linked this just isn't my experience of the most likely cause. Perhaps it's our local tree varieties.

If having branches down there were a good idea, the tree would have done it decades ago. It’s only recently started to look attractive for the tree. There are a number of things that could have shifted the calculus in this direction (or, technically, the tree’s hormones), some worse than others. The really bad one would be desperation. Trees can put out this sort of growth as a sort of last gasp, hoping to catch some sunlight and just maybe nurse themselves back from the brink. I will say that we can see a lot of the upper canopy and it looks pretty good, but maybe it used to be more extensive. If a tree loses a lot of foliage, the hormones that suppress growth in the rest of the tree stop being produced, and buds elsewhere may activate, even ones under thick bark. If the tree recently lost a limb that was shading the trunk, that would have extra effect: hormonal imbalance from decreased foliage up top, and stimulation from sunlight on the trunk. Or maybe the was another large tree that came down nearby and exposed the oak’s trunk to sunlight, and our protagonist is merely taking advantage of a windfall. This is the most benign possibility, but still a departure from a stable growing environment. OP just saw green and decided that was good, when they should instead have sought an explanation for the unusual new growth. For better or worse, something is different now.

Sorry, my responses were in general, not to what you were saying about that particular dumpster fire which is absolutely going to fall onto the house and is blowing suckers because the roots on the opposite side of the lean were damaged and the thing is unstable as hell right now.

A lot of trees in central Texas are doing that after having a bunch of branches frozen in the that big freeze over the winter. My parents have at least one tree that maintained some canopy but also sprouted randomly like that.

That tree is giving off some dog berries vibes.  pixaal posted:I remember one time as a child a kid at school telling me about dog berries, and how they liked to eat the berries from their dog. I asked my mom why our dog didn't make berries and my mom called their mom in alarm. Turned out the dog was an outdoor only dog and full of ticks and the kid was eating their dog's blood gorged ticks.

Sounds like trees are lazy. Maybe they should pull themselves up by their rootstraps and go out and find a job instead of letting 'chemistry' do all the work for them.
