failed pin oak

[sean]

Had to deal with this today. The pin oak had co dominant stems of which one had a big failure. After tearing out it lodged itself into the fork of a neighbouring oak and its 'crown' hung up in trees further down the line. 3 hours later we were done. Small oak felled, next door pin felled and use of a hand winch and a landrover. A nice afternoon.

Cerris (turkey) Rubra (Red) Palustris (Pin) Robur (Pedunculate) Petraea (Sessile) Suber (Cork) Ilex (Holm)

 

I'm sure there are probably a couple of others dotted around somewhere but I havent come across them yet.

That looked fun Sean.

 

Any white rot in the inclusion?

 

 

 

 

Imagine there must be a Lucombe Oak or two, dotted around at Richmond?
