Cool!

Where's the door?

Northumberland, United Kingdom(Zone 9a)

I'd think a corkscrew would be more appropriate than a door!

Does it contain wine or beer?

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Whoa Nelly! Looks like a giant beet.

Bluffton, SC(Zone 9a)

That's cool looking. Hmmm I can grow that but I'm running out of room for trees in my yard.

Swamptreenelly,

Do you have any idea how old that tree is?

Fayette, MO(Zone 6a)

Great Tree! Very interesting.

Tolleson, AZ(Zone 9a)

Love this tree!!

PERTH, Australia

Wow! What a fantastic specimen. What are the marks on the trunk near the man's hand? It looks like the tree could have been gnawed at earlier in its life and the scars have grown, along with the tree.

McMinnville, TN(Zone 7b)

Holy Snap Batman!

I have to admit I have NEVER seen this in my neck of the woods! It reminds me of the cartoons where they block off one end of a hose pipe, let it swell and swell before unleashing it on the victim.

Hope this man moves real soon!

No surprise, it's only zone 9b/10 hardy.
