Perch-trenchment

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I think it's looking like a slow retrench Tony, I may keep a long term eye on this one and revisit it once in a while.

 

Might make an interesting photo story.

david, if it is retrenchment, retrenching being symptomatic of a trees inability to manage to sustain its peak would it not have balanced out at a hieght in line with the die back?

 

it appears to me that the new growth has begun to once more rech back up to its older frame, indicating to me at least that this tree is now in the black again and rebounding from hardships once suffered.

I see where you're coming from and I know you're not suggesting that the canopy is again going to retain it's original size.

 

Would it be a correct assumption to suggest that a tree whilst in slow animated decline will reivigourate when the required equilibrium is reached and then restock it's energy production to become as dynamic as is needed to see it through it's newly formed dimension & mass?

 

Or is it just a futile last hurrah and will eventually give up the fight against the Farmers generational compaction

 

Think a 360 view of this tree would be worthwhile to get a more complete picture.

 

I'll try to get back and trespa......... I mean find a "legitimate" access to re apraise,

unlike a well known vet stronghold we both know & love

Oh but i was suggesting this one may again reach its old hieght!

 

its looking like a fine healthy tree again and i am looking forward to more follow ups. being as you say in an agri scenario it may decline again, maybe worth trying teds approach?

 

ask the farmer if he would leave the grass to gro under it, and explain why?

 

be my approach.

as for trespa, and our little secret I was in suffolk last weekend, and again this weekend!

 

sadly i may as with last weekend be out of time, survey is double if not triple the work expected, but shall do my darndest to sneak over!

oh i just had a flash back of you up to your knees in that swamp, failing miserably to set up camp and then strangling that Moose as you blew up the air bed! LOL:lol:

 

it still makes me chuckle!

Well, it was being used as perch for the local Heron & Ring necked Parakeets.

But as the good ladies of the Kenwood Swimming Club were getting a little nervous, we had to bring her on down.

 

 

The "Per" looking a little grumpy in the second last

 

 

Made a nice change being involved in a little Tree work,

as opposed to yesterdays 4 hrs on a train & sitting through Conference in between.
