Pecky Sinker Cypress, 18"x24" unframedThis print was made from a Pecky Sinker Cypress log, salvaged from the Edisto River in South Carolina. The Pecky holes are caused by a type of fungus that doesn't start to germinate inside the tree until it is approximately 125 years old. Pecky Sinker Cypress trees are quite rare as the fungus does not grow in every tree. This particular tree is over 300 years old! This is a very slow growing tree, as you can see by the tight growth rings Screen
