I took some pictures of a very unwell Horse Chestnut. It only shows the fruting bodies which i beleive are Ganoderma australe. It also has Bleeding Canker on its back edge. There are some "softer" brackets which are obviously annual brackets. I'm not sure what the softer, degraded brackets are. Luckily the tree is not on our land but it well within falling distance of the Blandford section of North dorset trailway, Cricket Pavilion, Shipping container, powertool store and a new build Care home.

I see the tree has some sort of numbered tag on it does this mean someone is monitoring its health?

 

Yep. District council tree officer is monitoring its health. I shall get some pictures of it in May and again in August. My colleagues and i have offered our services to get it felled but havent heard anything yet. It dropped a branch some time over night which had landed on the container. And it has a split about 4 foot up from the base.
