a couple of measly offerings from me, first one was a small Sycamore that lost half its crown to the recent high winds. The last pic was from a line of about 25 Lime trees mostly all had snapped branches of some sort again from the recent gales.

Gotta love that mother nature.

 

Where would we be without the interaction of biomechanics & decay

I'm going to out eco-arb y'all and ask if these failures shouldn't just be called adaptions to load? After all most of these trees / branches continue to be viable despite the change in circumstance

If it wasnt for that mother nature we would all be out of a job, in fact we would all not exist!

Phew. As long as its all good with you Tim. I was really worried there for a second - you know as I was typing that I was thinking "Heck, I hope Tim's all right with this..."

Maybe we should call them part failures, unless its a limb that hasnt snapped off completely and is touching the ground to start walking then maybe adaption to load would work:001_huh:

Came across this today........proper failure.!!!! Will now be taking the top out of the remaining stem and having a little tidy up. Will definately be keeping the habitat.
