Veterans- The ultimate survivors

[sean]

not been in these woods for a couple of months, went in the other day and found one of the big beeches gone over recently.

 

the pics are in this thread somewhere ( i think) but here's before (may last year) and after (this week) anyway:biggrin:

Seems like the right thread for this beast I glimpsed today...

A not too shabby 7.5m girth at the narrowest point above the root flare, and a crown spread of about 23m!

The pics really don't do it justice, lots cavities and old wounds, and obviously hollow under those roots/butt. Home to all manner of beasties lucky kids with that outside their primary school!

We worked on the 100 guinea tree recently in The Vyne NT property. Massive tree, lots of decay. They are planning to build a structure to hold the tree up if it fails as it is leaning over tge road.
