Found this in the middle of the woods while hunting. 55 gallon drum. Must have been leaning on the tree and the tree grew right around the lip. Was about 12 feet off the ground.
Probably not. A tree’s girth will expand all over, but upward growth is at the tips of the branches. When “sweethearts” carve their initials on a tree, those initials will still be there, same height from the ground, years later.
