Could be overkill / anal-retentive, could be to avoid stress raisers on high vibration connection. Best practice either way, but no busloads of nuns will die if you don't.

Ever see the engineer spec that says something impossible or retarded? This is that. It's like a no smoking sign on a diesel tank

The one that I get a kick out of is the "No smoking, matches or open flames" sign hanging on the torch cart. It has to be there per MSHA. LOL
And no meme. I kinda like this thread.
 
Pretty interesting how the some trees result in having their upper branches almost "avoid" touching each other like this.

It's called "crown shyness", and while there are theories abound, nobody is certain about it.

I'm no scientist or tree expert, but I've cleared land and stuff before. I don't know that I'd call it "crown shyness" as much as the similar effect on a city street where overhanging trees take on the shape of the passing trucks that keep taking limbs out. Tall trees like that lean on each other in heavy wind situations, they probably break each other's limbs off and learn to not grow that direction, much like trees on city streets with canopy shaped exactly like the 18 wheelers that take out the limbs.
I know from life experience, between land clearing and my dad cutting about half the pines down in his yard when i was a kid, that when they don't have each other to lean on, in a hurricane they suddenly snap off and fall down, etc...
So again, no tree expert or scientist, but I don't think the reasoning behind it is so hard to figure out if government funded scientists aren't trying to find some elegant solution for a simple question.

Get out of here with your rational observation and thinking :flipoff2:

it does look unlike anything I've ever seen walking in the woods before, but honestly, I never really bothered to look up. I won't say the phenomenon doesn't exist, but I don't see why some university or government entity should study it regardless. A little life experience and common sense explains it.

it would be awesome if I am wrong, just because it looks cool
around here the trees don't give a shit, they grow through each other :laughing:

That is exactly one of the current theories. Well said.


"The exact physiological basis of crown shyness is uncertain.[6] It has been discussed in scientific literature since the 1920s.[9] The variety of hypotheses and experimental results might suggest that there are multiple mechanisms across different species, an example of convergent evolution.[citation needed]

Some hypotheses contend that the interdigitation of canopy branches leads to "reciprocal pruning" of adjacent trees. Trees in windy areas suffer physical damage as they collide with each other during winds. The abrasions and collisions induce a crown shyness response. Studies suggest that lateral branch growth is largely uninfluenced by neighbours until disturbed by mechanical abrasion.[10] If the crowns are artificially prevented from colliding in the winds, they gradually fill the canopy gaps.[11] This explains instances of crown shyness between branches of the same organism. Proponents of this idea cite that shyness is particularly seen in conditions conducive to this pruning, including windy forests, stands of flexible trees, and early succession forests where branches are flexible and limited in lateral movement.[6][12] According to this theory, variable flexibility in lateral branches greatly influences the degree of crown shyness."

Glad to know taxpayer dollars were wasted on that study :lmao::flipoff2:
 
Albino.
When living things that are usually dark end up white instead. It trips you out and you think it's fake at first, but it's real and it's out there.
