Tree Branches - view from inside the trunk
Posted on June 19, 2022
I was on a gentle long, flat walk when I looked up and saw a hollowed out tree trunk with dead branches sticking out, and for the first time saw how branches extend into a tree trunk! From a leverage perspective, this makes sense, but I just have never thought about there being branch mechanics beyond simple strength of material.
The second picture gives a bit more context for the closeup.
