Large Beech uprooted by the wind .

[White Noise]

This Beech was blown down into the field . You can see the trunk is hollow and a number of different fruitifications / fungi were dotted around the base and in the hedgerow . I,m sorry I only took a pic of one of the fungi . Anyway the the root plate was about 13 ft high . Situated next to a busy main Rd . Enjoy I hope the pics go on straight this time . Fingers crossed .

I dont think so . It will probably go to the guy who will do it for the firewood or peanuts , God bless him . There are a lot of heavy limbs under a huge amount of pressure ,so he better have his thinking head on . Not to mention the suprise he ll get when he cuts the trunk and the root plate flys back towards the rd

Ditto to that. I don’t suppose you or the landowner know how long it had been infected? It’ll be lovely to have some close-up shots of the main supporting roots and particularly the underside. Good post, thanks for sharing.

 

 

 

 

I wonder if it had been inspected by highways...?
