Dodgy Coronet?

[alex_m]

My girlfriend noticed this at our local nature reserve / heathland and thought it looked really silly. I thought it would just be a normal coronet and that to some people, yes, they do look silly. Then I saw the pictures...

 

What are your opinions?

definetly looks to clean and pointy that still give it a few years to rot down abit will look alright.

Look ok to me,

It looks silly - I like the idea of fracture pruning, but it obviously takes a bit of practice / sensitivity to get it looking right - i.e. it needs to look like the result of a natural event.

 

 

Where is it located?

Knettishall Heath, Suffolk

Squiral damage can result in some good coronet results too:001_smile:

It is a little harsh looking, but as others have said time will be kind.

 

What would be interesting to see, is whether any advantitious sprouting from the long lengths of exposed cambium on these coros occur.

 

 

A series of annual close up shots taken from the same place over the next two or three years would be useful.

 

Can you book it in ya diary Alex?
