Hiking

There are some knotted trees. But this one here is a magnificent specimen of this genus.

Hiking

The gnarled appearance can be genetic, but can also be caused by external influences such as injury, disease, frost, wind, or asymmetrical light. Such influences lead to uneven wood formation or the formation of knotholes, which gives such trees their characteristic gnarled appearance.
