Hey everyone,
I live in Tallahassee Florida and one of my tung trees has some very odd bark damage. There are two large spots near the base of the tree where it looks like the bark has been peeled off. The odd thing about it is that there is a pile of wood chips on the ground below the tree. Furthermore, I found woodchips at least 6 feet away on the ground, and also about 7 feet up in the air on top of my umbrella. At first I thought it was my dog, but he's real small and there's no way that he could fling wood chips 7 feet into the air. I think that he would bark at anything big enough, like a raccoon, pack of squirrels, or flock of woodpeckers that could cause the damage.
So, do any of you have any idea what it could be? I don't think its a bacteria because of the flung woodchips. I don't think its my dog because of the height of the flung woodchips. In my mind, that means either raccoons, squirrels, or birds. Perhaps a Chupacabra? Any and all thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
