Some people are repelled by the lumpy, twisted, irregular, and sometimes huge growths on the bark of trees. Think of burls as living versions of mineral geodes, where a lumpy, rocky exterior is cracked open to display striking crystal formations inside.
As with sawn lumber, cutting in different directions across a burl will expose different wood grain patterns. As they grow, their un-sprouted bud tissue is folded, rolled, or compressed, creating unique growth patterns within the burl. Some may even contain mineral deposits from flooded soil or air pockets and interior bark ridges from eroded areas of wood that have been incorporated into the burl.
Because the pattern or grain of burl wood is so irregular and uneven and so different from straight lumber graining, burl is not used for structures or where bearing weight is required. Burl is typically made into veneer panels, inserts, and for furniture slabs and instrument making. You bet! Aboveground burls have been documented as large as 20 feet in height and width, and weighing upwards of 20 tons; belowground ones can be much larger.
Burls of this size reflect the age that some trees attain—the tree needs to have been growing for a few hundred years or more to grow a burl that big. But removing them will certainly affect a tree, and not in a good way. They are the base for decorative carvings and increasingly stolen from protected redwood forests. If your burled tree is not healthy, or if its shape has grown to be a hazard, then certainly it should be removed.
When you hire a tree care professional to remove a burled tree, be sure to ask if the burl can be evaluated and offered to a fine woodworker rather than being ground up for mulch.
But if your tree is healthy, try appreciating these fascinating gnarled growths and just let them be. The unique shape and story behind burls will make your tree the talk of the neighborhood! Subscribe to the Organic Plant Care Newsletter and get timely and helpful tips and updates monthly.
