Hazardous growth on a linden tree, (Tilia americana). As these branches grow thicker and thicker by the season, they're going to exert increasing stress on one another. Will they merge? Will they break? Will they create a weak point on the tree that makes it more susceptible to infection? No idea. #notanarborist. #tiliaceae #tilia #tiliaamericana #lindentree #linden #limetree #basswood (at SUNY Poly Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering)
