Can I have some help please I'm thinking canker but no obvious bleeding lots and lots of heavy " scarring" on second to last pic see how the scarring seems to or has "crumbled away " leaving limb barley holding on .

[Nick Harrison]

found this in the union of a sorbus today, previous inspection had said hispidus, wasn't that sure myself.

[Nick Harrison]

this was down as G.lucidum?

I'd say hispidus & resinaceum Nick

Thanks david 👍 I had thought resi also but the hispidus caught me out, hadn't seen one that small before and was looking for that featherry type effect when it desicates.

Big sycamore with dryads saddle, the centre section was sosoft you could punch it and leave knuckle imprints, mature I know!

Ground level not a mark in the stump, perfectly white but from 8ft up till the crown brake just sponge inside. All off for habitat in some other section of the estate away from the main grounds.

I'm inclined to think so but surely with such excessive scarring there should be signs of bleeding ? If I'm missing something I'm happy to be put right

[David Humphries]

'if' it is Pseudomonas syringae pathovar aesculi, the infection has been known to cease. So bleeds may have dried up.

 

But the cankers on your example may have been caused by a n other pathogen not associated with the bleeding symptom.

 

 

Try using the search function for threads specifically on HC bleeding canker
