A TPO'd chestnut which had a stem failing over the weekend due to high winds:thumbdown: Made safe and have left the works to be decided by the Local Council. Had to have a climb to find the cracking sound to cover my own back first tho. Kind of blends in with some of the electric board work in the area too:lol:

is that a transverse crack?

 

soft rot with cellulose breakdown?

 

 

Yeah to start off, it then started to develop into a full blow shear crack down that stem. Sadly a lot of Horse Chestnuts around here the bark is splitting in a kind of helical fasion (spiral). Most are still able to act healthy an get some photosynthesis but i do wonder how the travel of fluids acropetally and basipetaly throughout the crown over a period of years.:confused1:

can't overly tell from those pics but the crown looks healthy, any body language of FB's?

 

None that i could find on site or even see any residual attachment points of and fungal brackets. Still not 100% sure why all these chestnuts are almost tearing themselves apart :confused1: I would guess bleeding canker.
