|  Meteor damaged tree?
I cant think what else could have damaged this tree, but a piece of space junk. Branches were snapped off from crown to the first whorl.( Norway Spruce) Some of them being up to 80mm thick. If I get a chance, will look for evidence of the object on the ground. |

Well, I certainly would like some pics. Hire a metal detector and scan the area.

At first I thought lightning strike but I have seen them before and this was nothing like it. Branches were cleaved outboard of the trunk itself and pretty much in a straight line not quite vertical. I tried to get a photo but you cant get enough detail of the damage. Last edited by Paul Toivonen; 6th November 2011 at 01:47 PM. |

Have you seen any killer robots cyborgs wandering around looking for ms Sarah Conner. It just may be a T150 sent back in time & landing on your poor spruce. Or a possum... |
