Mystery tree part deux

 Part 1

The tree is in our yard.  It’s some sort of evergreen.  It was wrapped in what appeared to be plastic.

Today I unwrapped it.  Turns out the material was canvas, tied to the tree with heavy duty string.  Easy to remove.

There were bugs living under the canvas.  They scattered as soon as I cut the canvas off the tree.

It looks like someone cut branches from the tree just before it was wrapped.  There’s a lot of dried sap where the branches were cut, and some of the canvas clung to the sap.

Now we will see what happens to this tree.
