Ed- Appropriately enough, 'twisted' works for me...;>) -Don From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [ENTS] Gnarl Factor Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 11:47:43 -0400
Will, ENTS, In the past you have often commented on how gnarly a particular tree was found to be. What in your mind, and in the minds of others, constitutes the characteristics of gnarly? What does something look like for you to call it gnarly? Thick Heavy bark? Fat limbs? Twisted limbs? If you were to make a list of these characteristics what would be on the list? Are some characteristics more important than others? Do you see a difference in the nature of gnarly between big old trees and stunted growth forms? How are they different and how are they alike? Everyone jump in here, I am addressing the question to Will because I would like to hear his perspective in particular, but everyone can weigh in on this question as it is a matter of impression and opinion rather than extensive training in the field.
