Burls on both Musk and Myrtle seem to be a fairly common occurrence. The burl Musk in the photo is from the smaller burls that grow on the main trunk. The best burl grows just above ground level and circles the trunk of the musk and can be quite massive. I will take some photos sometime of one in the bush, its pretty cool.

Here is a photo showing the burl that grows at the base of the musk. This one is about average size ( about 800mm wide), I have seen much bigger.
