Veterans- The ultimate survivors

[David Goss]

whats the difference?

 

to me theres lots of difference depending on why and where but lets not go down that road again lets just agree to disagree

Having said that i have now had the time to read a lot more of your posts and from what i can gather your pretty much of the same mind as me, i guess you just didnt understand what i was against, which was probably due to my bad explanations

Would you class this as a veteran Alder? I've been meaning to take a few pics of it for ages. Completely hollow and only about half the tree remaining.

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

yes matt, that would classify as a veteran!

 

dug this one out from jan 2010 of that tree in the vid with the recent failure.

 

the top right section is the portion that tore out this week

Is that an adventitious root in the alder central decay cavity too?
