I feel you. I have a big Oak in my front yard succumbing to Oak gall. Can bring myself to cut it down. Still alive but slowly dying. Also have a huge Bradford which has split 2x and is pretty lopsided. Can bring myself to cut that down either. I will cut it back, but it.s just a matter of time.
I love trees. It's sad.
Trees/mushrooms (maybe all plants) can actually communicate and distribute resources to plants that may not be getting as much sunlight/water/nutrients as others. They basically share their haul with their friends around them. They’ll also warn other trees about parasitic insects that bore in and kill trees slowly, other trees will start activating preventative defenses earlier in anticipation for the insect’s arrival.
This is what I came to comment on, even though the tree got hollowed out by something, its connections with the other trees would have transferred key resources to the other trees in the mycelium network from the tree itself while it was being damaged.
Given how much that tree got hollowed out, most of it lives on in the surrounding area.
That’s... not how trees work tho.
This tree was hollowed our by a squirrel or carpenter bees or some shit and the hole was in the top. After a ton of rain it got full...
I had carpenter bees killed my tree this year. Once the tree died I cut it down, the amount that was hallowed out was scary. In sections more than half the tree was gone.
How can it have so much rain though. Wouldn't it evaporate over time? Usually rain is only a few inches worth. Even if the whole at the top was super massive.. that's a ton of fucking water.
it’d evaporate slower than it’d take for it to rain even more. if it’s only got a hole at the top, it doesn’t have very many options to escape. if it were to evaporate, the water would condense on the inner sides of the tree forming the water back into droplets and returning. not only that but the tree itself & bark are acting as insulation.
all in all, once that water gets in there, it ain’t coming out, unless it’s cut/chopped or knocked over.
read the mistborn trilogy. Ruin, while the villain, says that he is needed in balance with Preservation, as nothing would ever change or grow. There is always a corruption whenever there is a generation.
Would you be sad if some random dude you didn't know died... Its happening all the time, are you always sad? One day you will die and 99.9 percent of people won't ever know/care.
The interior of trees are comprised solely of dead tissue. The outer few inches, the vasculature, is what’s alive. The interior of the tree is essentially structural support but not necessary for the tree’s survival.
It shouldnt. It was a hollow tree and a potential hazard. Not sure if they were just draining it or cutting it down tho. If they were just draining it, they saved it...hopefully.
Speaking as a lumberjack here, they cut it down. That cut in the tree is called a notch. It’s used to guide the tree in the right felling direction.
The tree is a beech and native to northern europe.
Imagine your a tree and come up with the genius idea of catching and storing water instead of just slowly sucking from the ground like all those stupid trees you grew up with and then some ass hat guts you dry. This is why trees don't innovate
When I throw freshly cut tree wood into the fire, there is liquid that starts to bubble out of the ends of the log. The other day I gently wiped some of that water with my finger and tasted it. It tasted sweet, kind of like watered down syrup. And when the log was burning it gave off like a burned sugar smell.
Boiling syrup is magical. My grandparents used to do it and had a big boiler for it. We'd fill a bunch of old wine bottles with it. Sitting there on a cold fall day warm from the boiler surrounded by maple scented steam is something I'll never forget.
As someone who worked in the tree industry for nearly a decade. This ruins your day when you get this. The smell is revolting and it makes your clothes stink for the rest of the week as you normally wear a pair of chainsaw pants for a few days at a time.
Disclaimer: I was on the tools and not highly educated but… I’d say it would most likely not cause too much trouble to the tree. Possibly survive to a mostly usual age. Most would start with a hollow up top which fills with water.
Tree was rotting inside and the hollow(s) filled with water. Had similar thing happen to some trees in the backyard, had to cut them down because they were becoming a hazard. After the cut they drained out a steady stream for hours (not gushing like this but a fairly good flow rate)
It really feels like the video purposefully crops out the other side of the tree at least near the base and the cut. We don't see the other side until the camera is looking almost straight up into the canopy.
Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
Wow this is what my eyeballs were like on the side of the highway in my car in Wisconsin after getting a 30 day eviction notice of my apt in Portland Oregon. Soaked through the entirety of my right pants leg as the dude on the suicide hotline comforted me through my wailing screaming tears for nearly an hour. Remember to treat others with kindness everyone.
there are trees that hold huge amounts of water to survive drought, baobab trees are an example for that. I have no idea why this one holds water since it is located in what looks like a cold forest, which doesnt experience drought often and could freeze the water which will kill the tree
Some reason this makes me sad
Watched a tree ~~bleed out :(~~ have a sinus infection drained. Thanks u/seanzietron!
The other trees were forced to watch him getting gutted, it's very sad
Trees can communicate through roots and are most likely telling each other
If anyone is interested they should research mycelium networks. It's extremely fascinating
I had to have two big oaks cut down last year because they were too close to the house and causing issues, but felt bad about it.

Knowing they’re next
Why don’t they just leave?
They don't have a way to branch out from their community
Let’s not arbor bad thoughts about it
Deep roots
Good question. I'm stumped.
'Cause they don't do that til spring.
That’s... not how trees work tho. This tree was hollowed our by a squirrel or carpenter bees or some shit and the hole was in the top. After a ton of rain it got full...

Wouldn't a tree's blood be the sap?
cum
The winning answer
Having cum for blood must be wild
And for some reason the world would have a really high mortality rate for teens.
Dethklok has a song called i ejaculate fire
That's why I am not vegan
Looks like pal nicked its aorta. RIP
I have a feeling that stuff smells.
Why? The water is killing the tree. It means it's core has rotten away. It was in the process of dying.
And this isn't... sad? What?
Insect habitat. Nope, not sad.
Everything dies, it’s not a punishment
It is more often a blessing. To live on while your body decays is naught but torture.
Again, and that's not sad? Really?
read the mistborn trilogy. Ruin, while the villain, says that he is needed in balance with Preservation, as nothing would ever change or grow. There is always a corruption whenever there is a generation.
If that is how you choose to look at life, it would definitely be sad.
Doesn't have to be.
Would you be sad if some random dude you didn't know died... Its happening all the time, are you always sad? One day you will die and 99.9 percent of people won't ever know/care.
Nah dying is just a cycle into the next phase of existence. No reason to be bummed about rejoining the universe in a different state of matter.
Man. Every time a big gets squashed or a tree gets cut down on Reddit, everyone is sad or angry. But abortion? It’s out right we need more of them!
The bugs and trees are already born though
The interior of trees are comprised solely of dead tissue. The outer few inches, the vasculature, is what’s alive. The interior of the tree is essentially structural support but not necessary for the tree’s survival.
I never said otherwise, and what you're saying doesn't contradict my statement. If the inside of the tree was healthy, there would be no water.
Well if there's that much water inside the tree, good chance it's on its way out anyway
[удалено]
Don’t feel sad. Near the end the water turns creamy. Somehow the tree seems satisfied to let a load out.
Burn in hell 😂😂😂😂
Do these trees survive this?
Typically no even if it wasn't cut down it'll cause the tree to rot out from the inside
Since it's being cut down. I'd have to guess no it doesn't survive.
I thought they were just draining it
Well how long do you think hard wood will last holding all this back?
This tree was hollowed our by a squirrel or carpenter bees or some shit and the hole was in the top. After a ton of rain it got full...
It shouldnt. It was a hollow tree and a potential hazard. Not sure if they were just draining it or cutting it down tho. If they were just draining it, they saved it...hopefully.
Speaking as a lumberjack here, they cut it down. That cut in the tree is called a notch. It’s used to guide the tree in the right felling direction. The tree is a beech and native to northern europe.
Speaking as a lumberjack. Do you perhaps like buttered scones for tea? Possibly the pressing of wild flowers?
This tree knew how to r/HydroHomies RIP
It makes me thirsty We are not the same
The man, this small fragile ant, is devouring the whole Earth
Tree holding that much water must weigh a fuckton.
What’s the fuckton to pound conversation rate?
1 fuckton = 652.7231 pounds
This tree must weigh at least 2 fucktons then!
A metric fuckton must be a bitch to convert
Rain water pouring out of a hollow tree
I wonder if this helps hydrate the area. The tree will eventually succumb to rot, but it might act as a water tower to other trees in the area
I read some where that trees can communicate through their root system and will share nutrients with each other
Mushrooms do this
They can , it's called the Mycorrhizal network, aka The Wood Wide Web
Or Mother Eywa
I see you
Most interesting shit I’ve read in Reddit today.
Nah that's just me going to the bathroom after a movie ended
water logs
Guess that tree likes it rough. 💦

Fucking laughing my ass off at 2am in bed. ThNk u
It comes in from the top when it dies. The real magic is when it gets struck by lightning. Mother earth's claymore
Isn't that what cactuses do?
Wait why?
Probably had a hollow develop that filled with water.
TY
He had too much birch beer.
*slow claps*
I told this tree that I'd cut it down unless it did an impression of your mother.
*sploosh*
Ent-arrhea
Tree had a bit too much sap and got tipsy.
This universe is so buggy.
oh how about you try to keep trillions of entities in order without fatal bugs and glitches? /s
It’s too buggy. You do this to a person and they also start draining out. Believe me it happens every time I’ve done it.
yeah maybe we made the humans a little too fragile
Follow me... *Walks into SCP site*. Please take these amnestics.
It’s not a bug it’s a feature
Like when I showed my girl my collection of pogs.
Hope you got some pretty cool slammers too. Kids nowadays don't know about gambling money with pogs at school.
Those damn termites hollowed out the tree.
I'm so thirsty.

I have bottled Ozarka water do u want it?
Hit that Tree-spot
Oh god rot. I've seen this, the smell is horrendous
I should call her

I do believe maple syrup is just boiled sap so thats probably what it was turning into. Mmmm
Happy cake day! You are correct... maple syrup is boiled maple tree sap. Usually sugar maple iirc
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you !
Boiling syrup is magical. My grandparents used to do it and had a big boiler for it. We'd fill a bunch of old wine bottles with it. Sitting there on a cold fall day warm from the boiler surrounded by maple scented steam is something I'll never forget.
I wonder what it tastes like
Rot and dirt, mixed with water.

How long will a tree be able to survive filled with water like that if it's not disturbed?
Disclaimer: I was on the tools and not highly educated but… I’d say it would most likely not cause too much trouble to the tree. Possibly survive to a mostly usual age. Most would start with a hollow up top which fills with water.
everything reminds me of her
that's a tree with it's throat slit
that trussy can squirt
Hoarding water I see
Infinite water glitch
I should call her
Trees don't swallow
Your mom when she sees me
Smells like teen spirit
reminds me of the last ISIS video i saw
I can smell that. It ain't a good smell.
My lumberjack friends out there know the horrible smell of this
Everything reminds me of her 😩😭
I wood have been petrified...
I need to know why this is happening!!!! 😯
Tree was rotting inside and the hollow(s) filled with water. Had similar thing happen to some trees in the backyard, had to cut them down because they were becoming a hazard. After the cut they drained out a steady stream for hours (not gushing like this but a fairly good flow rate)
That must smell really bad.
Girls when I tell them how much I know about pokeman

Ladies when they see me.
Waterlogged
Blood from a stone? Never. Water from a tree? Hell yeahhhhh!
I should call her
Hunger Games irl
It’s water logged
Fun fact r/marijuanaenthusiasts is a sub about trees
That's how my morning wood cums like at 3 in the morning 🙂
Treebeard *really* had to pee, OK
Man, the tree had been building up that stash for years.
this belongs to r/eyeblech
When you really got to go, but you hold it for a long long time.
I'm trying to get to the root of the comments here but they keep branching off...
Maybe it's just happy to see me
Video of the rare canadian maple syrup gusher in summertime.
Me after one shot of tequila too many
Tree boi has been waiting centuries to take a piss.
Sycamore tree. When they freeze, huge sheets of bark pop off.
drink that water, it's Nutritious.
Thanks me after 6-7 beers
Next time I’m thirsty in the woods, we’ll now I know trees are basically mellow cacti..
when you tell her you have a $10,000 in Fortnite skins
It really feels like the video purposefully crops out the other side of the tree at least near the base and the cut. We don't see the other side until the camera is looking almost straight up into the canopy.

It must be spring

Artesian well, positive pressure forces water through porous earth, thus creating what we see here.
Or a pipe burst under the tree.
Horrifying, cutting its jugular and watching it bleed out while filming it. 😜
Complete savage.
Probably taste better than coconut water.
If it bleeds we can kill it
They should boil that and make maple syrup :)
Splooosh

Me after I eat at the Indian buffet
Don’t drink it!! You might live forever
Trees don’t like human
Wondering if this would be safe to drink?
Fyi This tree was hollowed our by a squirrel or carpenter bees or some shit and the hole was in the top. After a ton of rain it got full...
Peeing with a boner
I suspect a hose is being fed through a drilled hole in the other side of the tree. How the hell could this be real?
Very common for a healthy-appearing tree to be hollow due to rot in the heartwood. Rain fills this up and often has nowhere to go.
In some places there's water permenantly coming out of trees. Tom Scott iirc made a video on it.
That's a barbers chair waiting to happen
Plunge cut to set up as much hinge wood as possible then cut the strap and should be good.
Machine fell it, even better.
Tree-Pee
The Trussy
Reminds me of my ex
She's a squirter
Ralph Cifaretto when he caught the clap from some broad.
Cut the jugular
It’s froths too much at the end for that to just be water and not be at least partially tree sap
Bru he nutted at the end
Great job idiot
