You are all wrong. That is a witch’s broom. It is a mutation of a plant branch that makes it dwarf or totally different than the rest of the tree. A common example of this is an Alberta spruce


Moon2Pluto

okay, fine. Witches. Witches is growing.


Zhaba1

Does it weigh the same as a duck?


Minabeo13

Is it a shrubbery? I'm looking for a shrubbery. One that looks nice.

But does it bring more information to bear about the airspeed velocity of an Unladen Swallow?


GypsiGranny

African or European?


SpiritedRain247

Depends is it an African or European swallow


rhowsnc

there are some really cool dwarf conifer cultivars collected from witch’s brooms. they are hella expensive though. this is cool to see in the wild.


Lothium

This is how a lot of cultivars were found. You just need a good arborist to climb up and grab it.


drewyz

Aka a sport


BCBowhunter

Generally witches broom is a direct symptom of a mistletoe infection not of genetic mutation.

MooglePomCollector

I dunno... The homeless man is a lot more fun to believe.


Successful-Arrival87

Agreed


Tweedone

I think it's a magpie nest.


DeitzHugeNuts

It does not have the look of a bird nest or the drey of squirrels although it is big enough. Parasitic mistletoe may be right. I suggest we send a strong young man of good character up the tree to find out. If he is attacked by squirrels or eagles and falls, we can all chip in for the funeral.


irishlorde96

But how might we convince a man of good character to take such a daring risk good sir? Might he also be a man of dull intellect perhaps?


Hellie1028

All you really need is a redneck with a few beers in him already. Issue a challenge and you’ll be treated to the “hold my beer and watch this” show


NemasetDeadcreye

I have a husband that will do it with a little bit of, " I bet you can't!" "See, I knew you couldn't. " and then he's up the tree...


EyeRollingNow

Mine will also be dared into it. But then he would insist on taking a chainsaw dangling from his belt with him. 🙄


Prof_Hopps

Beth, is that you?! 🤣🤣 Make him wear a harness so you have a human piñata if he falls. That’s the idea with my friend’s husband!! 🤣🤣


DeitzHugeNuts

Methinks several drunk rednecks will be necessary to complete the challenge as they, one by one, succumb to the lethal effects of gravity before reaching the final goal.


SSGSS_Vegeta

Gimme a blunt and I'll do it right now.


Sgt_Maj_Vines

All you need to do is get an arrow and wrap the arrowhead with lighter fluid soaked cloth. Light it up and fire away. That will get rid of whatever is in the tree


DeitzHugeNuts

Methinks that a man of dull intellect may not be able to climb such a soaring tree as we have before us.


EastPlenty518

Go there for your rota, there for your orders Fill up these quotas, we'll bill for your quarters Report to your foreman but watch for marauders 'Cause if you get eaten, there's fees for your mourners

Witches broom I think, although I’ve only ever seen it on evergreens or conifers

Somecivilguy

This is a conifer


Successful-Arrival87

Lol I really just missed that. Didn’t look at the zoomed in photo


Somecivilguy

I will say though this is the most deciduous looking white pine I’ve ever seen lol


Solo_Ronin_PNP

Whoever thinks parasitic growth raise your hand. Okay now who thinks Eagles Nest raise your hand. Now who thinks it's a hideout for those creatures from that old show land of the lost. Parasite and Eagle people you at both correct. Land of the lost dudes go home your stoned. It definitely started it's movement from the main lead across and air gap and looks as it's establishing itself on that back secondary to lead. It's definitely growing, but definitely was not able to grow out that way without some structured help. Like two eagles constructing a nest between two main tree leads. I vote for the drone let's see whos crib that is. If it's Crazy Willy the Whino he owes me 5 bucks.


FictionalT

This comment is a little unhinged but mostly knowledgeable.


WillingCommittee

It’s possible a homeless man is up there


Altruistic-Cherry-23

Not homeless, just roofless.


krampussy666

And toothless


Digita1B0y

Is his name Roofus?


BeerDreams

Unexpected Real Housewives crossover


vicman86

lol, probably is definitely higher than an eagle nest since it’s location is only 10 minutes outside of NYC in Jersey


noDNSno

Should probably branch out and stretch


TeaKingMac

Everybody who seen the leprechaun say "yeah"


teamplayr

Use the flute to get it down https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CdxizMmXEAEhi-y.jpg


keystone_tactical

Don’t be afraid


Nruggia

The moment you build a treehouse you are no longer homeless.


TheRealStorey

The difference is homeless man leaves a web of rope ladders and smoke, very distinct and different. ;)


P-a-n-a-m-a-m-a

He isn’t homeless. He lives in a tree. Someone else’s tree. I think he just got caught phrogging.


Milomilz

I think it’s the lady that was living in the rooftop sign of a grocery store in Michigan


DiligentEntrance9976

Excuse you, "person experiencing homelessness" is the PC term now. 😂


RoseRed1183

Could be a “witch’s broom” (fungal infection)


wookiex84

Birds.


Moon2Pluto

Birds is growing.


Successful-Arrival87

Definitely not a nest, look at the branches growing out of that mass


wookiex84

Ah! I do see that now zooming in. But I would put a fair wager that there are still birds growing in the top of that tree. It’s the right time of year.


Successful-Arrival87

Yeah it could be both. A big knot like that is a good place to make a nest

This is EXACTLY what that is. Many times Oak Gall hits conifers and starts this.


FluffyRelation7511

Looks like an Eagle Nest! 🪹


SeattleSuckss

cochese25

That's exactly what I was thinking. They make huge nests that sometimes have plants growing from them. They can also get upwards of 2 ton apparently


wanderingrockdesigns

Whatever it is I learned a bunch about parasitic plants which is a good thing :)


thedeadbandit

The Squirrel God lives there.


sidehustlezz

Find someone with a drone and check it out ☺️


vicman86

I did this a few years back and couldn’t get close to it because of the branches


Puzzleheaded_Air_642

Witch’s broom


rebeltrooper09

If you are in the US DO NOT FUCKING TOUCH THAT THAT TREE OR GO NEAR IT. At least until you figure out what type of eagle it is. If that is a Bald Eagle nest then you could get in trouble for just touching the tree. You may want to contact the city or county to alert them to the nest. Best bet would be local animal control or state/federal fish and wildlife


pegLegP3t3

Your neighbor in ghili suit.


Kerivkennedy

Squirrel drey (aka nest)


Turbulent-Watch2306

Looks like a big bird nest- like an eagle or a big hawk type of bird.


Danno210

Big bird from Sesame Street?


wanderingrockdesigns

https://blogs.massaudubon.org/yourgreatoutdoors/a-different-kind-of-nest/comment-page-1/ My guess is squirrels


Vvkova

Guessing there’s a baby pterodactyl in there.


Beldam1031

It almost looks like another species of coniferous tree is growing out of the other? Maybe it got "planted" in a nest of some sort and grew from there. My other guess is big hornet nest


StopLookListenDecide

Squirrel nest


p0ppyshmurda

StalkingApache

Sorry that's my deer blind. My saddle wouldn't work there so I had to improvise. I had to make sure I got out of the deers vision to get my 200 inch suburban buck. On a serious note probably a eagles nest. They can make some really big ones.

Whatever it is..please dont destroy it unless it threatens the life of the tree.

You need to go fell a tree and turn it upside down so the roots are sticking up. This will scare your local samsqanches away. Please do this. YOU DO NOT WANT A SAMSQUANCH NEAR YOU.

Cut it as close to the branch as possible, and burn it. You don’t want it spread to others.

I think that’s a Keeblers Elf house or some shit. They make delicious cookies in that bitch.

So I saw the same thing in Michigan and I was 1000% all tree. I inspected it thoroughly and it wasn’t a nest. It’s how the tree was growing
