My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hole in tree trunk

2 years ago
last modified: 2 years ago

Hi. Its an old cypress. The hole is nearly 3 meters from the ground. Several centimetres in diameter.
Any ideas as to who did it? Animal? Bird?
I'm in Israel, inner coastal plain.
Thanks!

    A large hole is usually the work of a woodpecker.
