Go see Merle's son Earl who's a regular at Gus Pub in town , cause he's the best burl expert in the world.
If not, there's also a small info point with the burl's history, but not comparable to Earl's knowledge and experience with the burl. Even if you're not into trees or burls, Earl will make an amazing experience out of this. The 2 hour-tour flew by so fast and i felt like spending even more time at the burl. I will definitely return to the burl next time i'm in town.
Stumbled upon this site by fluke while out for a drive after dinner. The plaque had very interesting information about the burl. Who knew this was a thing?!
If you find yourself in the Northern parts of Vancouver Island (we stayed in Telegraph Cove), this is a fun little detour. Yes, the world's largest burl is pretty big :).
Noticed the burl attraction sign and stopped to check it out. It's huge enough to impress even those ignorant of burls. I was thankful for the plague which explained what a burl was.
This HUGE burl is really cool, but we can't figure out why they hid it in a parking lot?
It should be moved near the waterfront or harbour area.
It's hard to get a good picture that shows the true scale of it's size, so I had Colleen sit beside it. Check this out if you're in town.
Not exactly exciting. Do not go out of your way to see this. Located in what appears to be a forgotten parking lot, it would be very easy to drive by...and not even notice it.
