Hey Good People! Did you know that is a biological autobiography written in wood, preserving the "secrets" of the tree's entire history in its cross-section? Beyond the simple counting of growth rings to determine age or rainfall levels, a stump reveals the tree's structural battles, such as bark inclusions—dark, enfolded lines where two competing stems pressed together—or even inosculation, where two separate trees grew close enough to chemically fuse their cambiums into a single organism.
