An unusually large spruce burl on display at the University of Alberta. The plaque reads: "SPRUCE BURL. This large spruce burl was collected by Ken Brown and Alex Taje of High Prairie, Alberta. The tree on which it was growing was located in the sub-alpine forests south of Grande Prairie. Burls are not uncommon on spruce, but seldom grow to this size. The cause of these swellings is not known. The University thanks the finders for making this specimen available, and the Alberta Forest Products Association for the donation which enabled us to obtain it."
