Firstly who can correctly identify the tree?

Re: Strange Growth
Swampy, seed pod. I actually have a few on one of my trees - thought it was a bit early though

Look closer at the pod!
Are you sure it is the pod of a swampy? Is it the right size and shape?

Re: Strange Growth
Japanese larch, and Something Wierd To Do With Sex Growing In Its Armpit. Which is seriously perverse. Grant, I'm surprised at you. You were such a Nice Boy.

It is not fully filled out yet but is of course the seed pod.
What i find strange is that it is hard up aginst the trunk. I have never seen that before.
Anyhow this tree was collected as seed itself in 1974 and is in fruit for the first time that I have observed.

Re: Strange Growth
Yah 
Well the swampy I have has got cones for the first time too. I didn't realise they grew all the way through summer before going brown and opening in winter 
Then again I only look at the park trees when they start shedding to see if I can collect some seed.
