Fagus with Ganoderma

[John Hancock]

This was a nice beech tree in one of our parks. Its been host to Ganoderma for a number of years. There are three footpaths within falling distance of the tree, i.e. High Targets...

Yes it did, but because it was such a nice tree I expected some come-back from the public so I decided to cover my arse! We posted the tomograph results on the notice board in the park, weeks before we took it down. The pic of the stem being cross-cut shows some of the decay, but it was actually much worse than that lower down...

Nice story board of photos John.

Great idea to post the picus results for the public. A little pre-info goes a long way in reducing on job opposition.

Like your style

If safety is a priority on the council why was the tree dismantled not felled onto the grass?

Just been trying to load the Tomograph results but the file size it too big! The only way I can do it is to take a pic off my laptop, sorry for the quality..
