Another was a Rosamond tree that had the tree support band actually cut into it all the way to the core. It was a deep wound when I noticed it but old so healed. I was shocked it didn't get some deadly disease in that wound.

The first picture was taken on 4/30/04 and the second picture where it had all filled in with scar tissue (like a keloid, LOL) was not even a year later on 1/8/05. So brugs are pretty amazing! You can also see how fast they grow and look at the girth of that trunk in the later picture. Sadly it got so huge, I had it taken out this last spring.

So there is definitely hope!
