They're parts of living beings, you need to leave them alone. Im so tired of people acting as if trees are just inanimate objects that you can screw with however you want
Stop ruining nature, we don't care that you were there. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Pick up some trash instead of hurting the environment.
"cypress knee", haha, I've only ever heard of these referred to as pneumatophores scientifically. Very cool adaptation of hydrophytic trees to flooded environments. They good for woodworking?
they’re good for leaving alone and in the ground as they are a vital structure of the tree’s root system and removing one could cause a massive open wound allowing infection and disease in to kill the tree
For those outside of the research community, I have heard them called “knees” (“pnees”?) many times. Love to see the public taking an interest in one of our most unique genera ◡̈

Well... Yeah... Obviously. Sometimes trees need to be removed
Not in these ecosystems
