Thanks chaps,

No sign of bleeding though I did not actually 'damage' it.

Is it a cause of, sign of or nothing to do with wider problems?

 

Cheers

 

Gausa is considered weakly parasitic, debatable, but this is a sure sign the limb is being shut down (due to shading) or has died for some other reasons.

Thanks,

Interesting that you mention shading, the affected branches are predominently on the north side of and within the crown.

 

Buck.

 

 

not that interesting, but obvious when you know the cycles/ecology:thumbup1:

 

in nature everything has its roles and niche:001_smile:

 

you may be lucky enough if you check to see the fungi eating the stereum, both Tremellas foliacea and aurantia consume streums, and very pretty they are too.
