The REAL Heart Of The Matter...
This summer I have been out and about taking photos of inspirational trees in my local area, and I came across this a few months ago.
You can just imagine a pair of lovestruck teenagers were walking hand in hand in the woods, and the boy decided to carve a love-heart in the trunk of a tree to show the girl how much in love he is. This boy decides that he is not just going to carve the outline of a heart, he's going to carve away all the bark right down to the heartwood. Many years later the tree has rotted away from the inside, which coupled with some vigorous callus growth leaves what we see today. Or just a random act of nature... take your pick. Regards, Chris.

There are more on my little bit of webspace. Click the www icon at the bottom of my posts to get there. The text on the front page is a little out of date, but no matter. Feel free to download and keep the images if you like. All I ask is that you credit source if you re-use. BTW, Who said that deciduous trees don't have deadwood... Regards, Chris.

Chris, all very interesting stuff (I'd just like to point out you managed to find a dry day - remarkable!) The "heart" you describe looks similar to the "tonuge" which developed and described by Colin Lewis on is English Elm Stump, look on the left , think it was a hollow that healed over, (although I don't think he owns it any more).

Beard,
Nice old trees. They remind me a lot of slides that Harry Tomlinson has shown here of the trees in Nottingham forest. They were very spooky and taken in the fog. Are you near there? In honor of your address there in the UK... Here's tree shot someone posted in another bonsai newsgroup a while back..In case you missed it then. An interesting "twin trunk" specimen.  Dale
