I pass one almost the same but slightly more pronounced on a daily basis. I have meant to stop for some time to get a snap. suppose now I will have to.

Here's an old birch with a butt that's considerably wider than the stem.

 

The photo isn't great, but it is more of a ribbed / butress structure rather than a bottle.

I know another local plane too but never got round to taking pics yet

if you are ever driving along forstal road, forstal near maidstone, have a look at the planes along the side of the road and the edge of the playing fields. as i remember these are some quite large examples. will try and get some pics next time i'm over that way.

someone told me it was caused by the tree healing from previous wounds and just not knowing when to stop, is this also true?

i'm pretty sure thats the forstal road one i mentioned earlier, i always believed it to be aylesford but the map suggests it comes under forstal.

 

pretty amazing looking trees!
