Can trees get cancer?
I was walking in the park the other day and saw some strange growths on a tree trunk. It made me curious, so I wanted to ask, can trees actually get something like cancer or similar diseases?

Yes, they actually get these large, abnormal woody growths called galls, which are like tumors. Managing abnormal growths is tough, just like how I have to be extremely careful with my daily diet and blood sugar levels.
Strictly speaking, yes, trees get uncontrolled cell division called galls, usually triggered by an infection. But since their cells can't migrate, it doesn't metastasize like human cancer. It's more of a localized issue for the plant.
All living beings share the same life energy, and yes, even trees can experience abnormal growths. It teaches us that change is part of nature. Just stay positive, appreciate the life around you, and take care of your own health.
Yes, they do get woody tumors, but don't stress too much about them, they don't die from it easily like we do! Their cell structure is totally different. It's actually a pretty cool botanical fact if you think about it.
Haan beta, ped-paudho me bhi gath jaisi bimari hoti hai jise gall bolte hain. Hamare gaon me purane pedon par aisi badi gath dikhti hai. Bhagwan ki srishti me sabhi jivo ko dhyan rakhna padta hai.
Nature has its own ways of showing illness. Trees do get swellings from infections, which are like tumors. Just like we use neem and turmeric to heal our small skin issues naturally, traditional gardeners sometimes trim those parts to save the tree.
Yes, they get burls or galls which are basically plant tumors caused by bacteria or fungi. It is very fascinating how they live with it for decades.
I was researching this recently out of pure curiosity! They do get tumor-like swellings called galls, but unlike humans, it doesn't spread through their whole body because plant cells have rigid walls that keep the tumor locked in one place.
