Wondering

What to you call the area in a tree where 2 or more branches start, that makes a bowl or sheltered are. Where, perhaps, leave gather in the fall.... Because, that's what this is....

Good question, Larry.
I think it is called a " fork"

Well spotted and wonderful textures.

Thanks both! There were about 5 different brances coming out of this fork, quite a structure...
