Veterans- The ultimate survivors

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

If I get your train of thought, then I generally expect failure on a retained beech stubs in shade. particularly if they are bare stick.

 

 

Always a better scenario to fracture back a branch with existing photosynthetic capacity, preferably already in light.

 

 

 

 

Shots show at point of work & then another one a year on.

I think a lot of work needs doing on light, we need to know more about the response of cambium to certain levels of it and other stimuli.

look out for Helen Reads piece in a forthcoming AA journal, on the Basque Beech restoration project.

 

Branch orientation to light plays a significant part in how much cambial dieback there was in branch reduc success.

I would think my outspoken ways would mean try you might but fail miserably!

Remarkable, to steal an over used phrase

 

 

Could be a candidate for a lh branch retrenchment perhaps.
