We travel through there every year on the way to the Isle of Wight. The last few years we’ve stayed in the New Forest for a few nights., kids love it – So jealous!

I saw this Sycamore on a walk today and was interested by the burr at the base at first then I got puzzled as to weather it was one tree or two. From the burr pic it looks likely but from round the other side I'm not so sure. I saw another couple nearby growing out of a stone wall and it was pretty mature. The base was covered in moss and soil so it was hard to tell but I reckon that could have grown from being cut back in the past.

 

The growth form of sycamore's lend itself to this shape quite typically - am I correct?

No that was the top half of it, the building site it was on was a filthy mess and so I asked if they could bring the trees to roadside for us We had already felled a big hymalayan birch and they had shifted that for us, It took about 6 trips to shift the birch and the forklift had to keep going to do other jobs so to speed things up when we did the Thuja I tip roped it and then snedded the bottom bit before cutting it off at the base. Then the forklift driver got the fear and we had to attempt to lay it down and cut it in half, a major PITA.

 

Still at least we weren't working in a foot of mud. Plus they were pumping the kludgie which smelled like satans jockstrap so the further away from that the better.:001_smile:
