Richmond Park

[sean]

Here's some photo's from the park.

 

1 and 2......Hornbeam with Lots of Ganoderma approx 5 mtrs up just below crown break. This is a big Hornbeam located just inside the perimeter wall of the park . The other side of the wall is a row of houses. The spec on this was to reduce height by about 30%. Needed to be this much due to extent of decay and high target area. The lean of tree was also towards the houses. Made a nice job though.

 

3,4 and 5.......Resinaceum on Red Oak. Have a photo of this when it was tiny back in June.....will dig it out so you can see how much it has grown in duration.

 

6....this morning

 

7 and 8.......i.d on picture 8 if anybody knows.

The deer are now clued up.......munching on the buds even as we are working.....this happens all the time.

Nice to have finally met ya Sean.

Fine piece of work today, enjoyed the oportunity to chat around reduction specs etc.

 

I forgot earlier today, but I brought a copy of Pollard Management round for you, I've left it with Geraldine, she said she'll catch up with you later in the week.

 

Was also really good to have had time with Simon, Mike & Adam, got a very good run down & perspective on Management issues.

 

Here's a few from today.

 

Only had room on the cam for twenty or so shots,...........gutted:thumbdown:

Hi Sean. Im very close to Richmond park and I have never seen the Red Oak. Whereabouts in the park is it? I would love to visit that tree.. Ben

Pic seven, with two fungi, one is the shaggy parasol, the other is very possibly (will check but guessing at the mo) freckled daperling which i believe is a mycorhizzal, will dig the books out! by the way, the parasol is well tasty! just peel the skin off with the velum scales first, flash fried with your eggs and bacon! mmmmm

looks like Richmond requires a visit from the Hama, and soonish!
