Hollow Beech

[Ian H]

Great thread and photo's, lovely old vet beech and seeing the climbers gives a good sense of scale, interesting indeed to see how it fares, here's hoping its all good:thumbup1: a very useful case study.

All in favour of Mr D writting a book say "IYE!"

 

It is long overdue me thinks mr Humphries, ands a worthy contribution it would be, on par with any arborecology works ive read to date I expect.

 

pressure is on David, get it done!

I can see it now, " Arborecology-Hampstead Heath" By David humphries.

Quite a ring to it, should make the best seller list-perhaps a review on Richard/Judy:scared1:, kiss of death that last bit:biggrin:

Cool tree David. Still planning to work on it again this year?

[David Humphries]

Yes Mat, probably this autumn.

 

Going to have a closer look within the canopy to check on internal shoot growth since the reduction, and also compare the terminal bud scars and extension length against neighbouring beeches.

 

If good, then looking to reduce the '87 poles by another meter or two.
