100yr old apple tree

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

I have wanted to see Inonotus hispidus on apple for so long, fingers crossed!

 

Or something completley unexpected perhaps, like P. dryinus.

 

Iether way, an apple tree of 100 years in age would be an interesting tree, lichens etc.

yep they are on old allotments and each allotment had there own apple tree planted, so i no they are 100year old, only one left is that big one with the brackets, as the allotments got building development on them but my grandad wouldnt sell his patch

cool, well done that man, I think our mr sorensen posted a thread about all this land grabbing getting stopped now anyways, going to make it harder and force true brownfield developments.

why dont you try pollarding it first, then if it lives on fine but if it die then at least you have tried

lets just say it would be more akin to creating a monolith for habitat to a possible rejuvenation pollard!

 

Poly is no more, he is pushing up daisies...

 

he has ceased to be!
