Sean.... This is really interesting stuff. I haven't seen anything quiet as weird as this but there are plenty of examples of burls & branch grafts in Euc's down my way. I think Ekka has something with the mistletoe. I haven’t got any other plausible suggestion to make but could it be epicormic growth following a stressful event (storm, fire)? Epicormic shoot gets damaged in another event (invasion by pathogen, insect attack, frost or suncald) leading to a meristematic mass (canker or burl)?
