Mission completed. I revisited the location and checked it out. My bet is that Jordan is right and this is a telephone pole. It is detached at both ends and I saw no branches. With how long and straight it is, I'd be surprised if it were any kind tree. Thank you guys for all of your input!

Hey all,

I was hiking along the Mississippi River in central Minnesota earlier this week and saw this damage. I've never seen anything like it before. There is some beaver activity on the area. The tree appeared to be attached to the bank, but the soil and wood damage made it unclear. I suppose river could have washed it down. Any and all ideas are welcome, it's a complete mystery to me

MiaSherwood Landau wrote:Hi L. I had never heard of the site you linked, so I clicked it and looked around. At present it only offers a waitlist option, right? That's what I saw. My first thought in reply to you, before I ever clicked the link, was this - I have managed my own real estate as well as real estate for others. I have hired a lot of contractors and got a lot of advice over the years. I am NOT an expert on gardening, even though I've been gardening for over 40 years. All this to form a foundation for what I'm about to say - If you have to pay in advance for someone you don't know to talk to you on video chat it is not likely to be worth it. It's hard enough to get good advice from experts and advisors in person in real life. However, you are on Permies.com. You are in a place where experts abound. I am serious. You can ask specific questions for free, and buy courses, and you can make some trusted connections in the process. Honestly, why would you want a site like the one you linked?  You have everything you need (and way more than any of us could actually ever need) here in the Permies forums. Best wishes for a fun and rewarding gardening education and happy gardening life!



Thanks so much for the response! I think it is waitlist only, I heard about it from a friend and wanted to see what others thought first. That is definitely a good point about this website being good. My main reason I was interested was for a quick turn around. It looks like this post got some replies pretty quickly though. I am in central Minnesota, USA.  I am new to posting on here (and on forums in general). I'll need to take a look at my profile to figure out the set up. I have been a lurker here for awhile, excited to be apart of a pretty cool community! Thanks for the feedback about resources. Happy gardening to you as well!

Hi, looking to expand my garden and have had issues with diseases in the past. Just need some experienced input and instructions, I feel pretty confident in actually doing the work. Has anybody used this service or anything like it? https://www.useabe.com/
