Ganoderma?

[thomas_3rd]

hi guys, after a bit of advise on this one, have a horsechestnut in a family friends garden, im thinkin ganoderma but though id see if you knew what type, and from that the saftey of it. its next to a bus lane and above their parked cars, plus the pavement! im thinkin sooner than later as mewp is gonna be outta their budget.

 

and second question is after take down, replanting wise, whats the chances of it infecting a new healthy tree? any particulally vunrable?

 

think they're wanting a few quotes, if it was your job,what sorta price would you be looking at?

 

lotta questions i know but wanna get things right! cheers:001_smile:

Yep thats a fell allright!

 

In that position I wouldnt replant with horse chestnut and no it wouldnt infect the new planting.

 

Maybe a nice multi stemmed betula Ermanii? Ermans birch, something not so big, more gracefull and lightly foiliaged with white bark reflecting light rather than absorbing it.
