Dead tree removal

[Treewarrior]

Have been to remove three dead Acacia trees.

 

Am not an expert on decay and wondered if anyone could identify cause of death?

 

By the way, the smell was awful!!

Thanks for the replies and opinions. I have to post evidence to a tree officer.

There's been discussion here before regarding the bright green Frisia variety. Seems there's a ?virus sweeping the country that - and I'm calling on memory here - leads to blockage of vascular tissue. Frisia apparently has narrow vascular rays.

 

Hopefully someone who actually knows what they're talking about can put that in English for you.

Methinks I may have to do a bit of studying on tree disease and decay.

 

Thanks for the input

Certainly will do. Have posted pics to Tree Officer as they were in a conservation area and he was interested. Always best to stay on the right side of these guys

Bart's link is the one I had in mind. Contains a post from me that coincidentally mentions the Great Smell of Acacia - not.
