Tree work can be full of surprises—and we’re not just talking about the weather. Over the years, our crew has discovered some unexpected things hidden inside tree trunks, branches, and root systems. Here are a few of the wildest (and weirdest) finds we’ve come across in the field:
1. A Hive Full of Buzz
During the removal of a large silver maple, we discovered a massive beehive tucked inside the trunk. Hundreds of buzzing bees and layers of honeycomb reminded us that sometimes, trees are home to more than just squirrels.
2. Forgotten Toys and Tools
From old baseballs to rusted-out garden shears, we’ve found all kinds of objects lodged in tree limbs and roots. Turns out, trees grow around whatever’s left behind.
3. Raccoon Roommates
More than once, our crew has opened up a hollow limb to find a curious raccoon or two peeking back. We always proceed with care and respect for the wildlife.
4. Nature’s Sculpture
Trees often grow in unusual shapes around old fences, wires, or other obstructions. One oak even wrapped its bark around a street sign—completely absorbing it over the years.
Why It Matters: These moments remind us just how alive and dynamic trees really are. Every job tells a story—sometimes one we didn’t expect. It’s one more reason we love what we do.
