Wolf Tree Charateristics



Here is a short bowled Chinquapin oak that is located in a forest with wolf tree characteristics.

A wolf tree is a tree that branches out early. These trees grow in open areas and do not have to grow tall to beat the competition.

But this tree is growing in the middle of a forest and has competition to contend with. It is my thinking that at one time the bluff that it is growing on was cleared of trees and this tree dominated the area.
