Great stuff guys. Brandon, those "warts" are tree "Galls " .......... Galls are abnormal growths that occur on leaves, twigs, or branches. They may be simple lumps or complicated structures, plain brown or brightly colored. There are 1500 species of gall producers, the majority of which are insects and mites. Some galls form where insects or mites feed or lay eggs. They may also develop as a response to infections by several kinds of fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Galls affecting leaves are seldom if ever a serious problem. Galls affecting twigs, such as the gouty oak gall and horned oak gall, can be more serious. Symptoms and Diagnosis In most cases, galls are unsightly but not damaging to the tree. Small plants may be stunted because the water and nutrient circulatory system of the plant may be damaged. Infested leaves, which can be twisted and curled, are usually able to carry out photosynthesis at near normal levels. Less striking and non-apparent galls that can occur on twigs, small branches, and roots can, over time, kill and weaken portions of a tree or cause a general decline in plant vigor. Galls can be confused with normal parts of the tree, for example, seed-bearing structures or insects such as scale. Life Cycle Galls result from the interaction between a chemical stimuli produced by the pest organism and the plant's hormones. These pest organisms are masters in the art of compelling the host plant to provide food and shelter for the larvae which resides inside. The walls of the gall are structurally strong, rich in protein, and provide the larvae inside with protection and food. A specific gall producer can often be identified by the unique color, shape, and structure of the gall that develops around it or by the host plant it is on. In our area most gall-causing insects have only one generation a year making control after symptoms appear of little or no value. Many gall producers have not been extensively studied and their life histories are poorly understood. In the absence of such basic information few protocols for control exist. Since the vast majority of galls produce only cosmetic blemishes, economic incentives for funding further study are lacking. Hope this helps.
I've been out of the loop for a few weeks!! I'm currently in the state of Maryland helping my big sister battle breast cancer!! I've got to play catch up on videos!! Stay safe guys!!!😊🙏💜
Hey Shannon 👋. I'm a state south of you and and I took the cancer surgery and chemo ride last year. A positive attitude is everything for both of you! I listened to Bob Marley's Three Little Birds everyday, even made it my ringtone. Your sister is blessed to have you there standing strong with her. Blessings of love and health to you both.
Great dig guys !!!. Being from Canada 🇨🇦 and watching your videos, it’s always great to see bottles I’ve never seen before , and to learn a bit of history about them . Thanks, and keep up the awesome work.
Love the flask. You all found some awesome bottles. The broken bottle with the eagle on it was such a heartbreaker. Saving history is looting. Good Grief. Thanks for taking us along.
Awesome dig ! Was looking for that hutch also and an amber coke , all were great man . I love watching the history come up that’s been hid for a century or better , thanks for bringing it to the light and sharing
I've found a lot of old bottles in my. Time but never a hutch I live in kodak tn. Witch is in savier county I'm glad you guys get along with your police force have a great day ❤
I have been saving money for awhile to get a shovel but it seems something always comes up !I really enjoy how you give info on bottle history and show variances in what to look for and age ,keep it up guys I always watch
Great video and awesome finds. I have a couple of rat snakes and king snakes around my place. They take care of rodents and also other snakes, the bad type. So I leave them alone. Take care guys and God bless
