I first spotted this tree in Finland 5 years ago and have passed it on numerous occasions driving into central finland with a friend.

 

For the first time last week I managed to actually have the camera ready and grabbed a couple of shots.

 

I have seen 3 different trees like this but this is the best one yet example...

 

Any one shed any light on what is going on here?

 

Cheers,

Rich.

Do you know what causes it Tony? I know of one in a garden in Warlingham, Surrey neighbouring a client's that I need to visit in a couple of weeks; I'll take pics this time. It's on a conifer too.

Cheers Tony. I am surprised it is still standing as I mentioned I first spotted it driving north from Helsinki on a snowboard road trip 5 years ago. I am sure there were more trees around it when I originally spotted it. The second time i clocked it was 78 km from Helsinki (on another road trip) and a combination of my dozyness, bad light and not having a camera ready meant it has taken this long to snap it.
