Granary Tree on display at the Natural History Museum in San Diego, California

On display is a section of a Granary Tree. Its descriptive sign says "This funny-looking tree is called a granary. Acorn Woodpeckers rely on tree trunks for storing acorns throughout the year. A family of woodpeckers will use the same tree to store their stash, so a single tree can have thousands of holes."
