My favourite climbing tree and some fungi

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

no, it phelinus probably igniarius and its very significant on oaks, and would give all the failures you mention, this tree is going to fail, the die back is due to the fungi getting into the live sapwood regions and or roots.

 

50% reduction would probaly be the make or break of this one, intersting fungi, would love to shoot that

loving the root and lower butt compensation! oh man this tree gets my juices going bigtime!

If ya did a 50% reduction n it dies. Its a cracking monolith to leave in the monoculture of an arable field.

Grow like mad with tons of epicormic growth.

too simple!

 

i would place my money on thus.....

 

Reduced to the line i propose the tree would not go balistic with epicormics, its past the vigour of its youth, and is fighting a battle against an aggressive white rotter.

 

It will produce some epi and growth, but it wont be as rapid as one might expect, if and when it stabalises the decay having a more efficient distribution and demand balance it may keep pace with the decay, make enough re growth lower down to speed up compensatory growth and THEN begin to rise again.

Hama. You are like Dumbledore from Harry Potter. You know so much and you are very wise.
