Can you get a chemical burn from a mock orange tree?

How could a burn scar get inside a tree?

  • Answer:

    Lightning Lightning strikes can cause various symptoms. They usually loosen bark which hangs in strips. The amount of bark loosened depends on the severity of the strike. The lightning bolt may have passed through the trunk and caused considerable internal wood damage that may not be visible. If only a small amount of damage occurred, remove damaged branches and loose bark and provide excellent cultural practices (mulch, water during drought, and fertilize). Damaged trees can die within a short period of time or years later following a period of stress. If lightning strikes your tree, it may show obvious damage, or it might be hidden. Consult a professional arborist if you think your tree has been hit.

I bet you don't get too many people that know this- The tree at one time probably had honeybees hiving in it. Some people used to drive the bees out with smoke or even fire to steal the honey, or to drive away the bees permanently. Nowadays , with colony collapse disorder so prevalent, a beekeeper would be called if the colony must be moved. Myself, I prefer not to bother them if they are in a natural situation and not a threat to people.

The tree gets burned, then over the next few years the tree begins to "heal" itself by growing bark in sucsesive layers eventually covering up the spot. Look at a tree where a limb has been cut off several years ago. You see how it is not a straight cut anymore but it has rounded edges? Eventually those rounded edges will get bigger and bigger until the grow together and it will not even be visible. In this same way a fence or wire could end up inside of a tree, the tree just grows around it.
