Branch bark ridge?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

argh yes that would sound logical.

[RobArb]

ok 2 oaks for people to digest

 

first one has laetiporous on an old limb failure and shell buckling on the stem

[RobArb]

second one, more shell buckling and possible bark sinkage at basal area

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

first one has laetiporous on an old limb failure and shell buckling on the stem ...

 

Rob,

... caused by Laetiporus brown rot of the heart wood ... etc.

[Fungus]

1. more shell buckling

2. possible bark sinkage at basal area

 

Rob,

1. Again caused by Laetiporus brown rot of the heart wood.

2. Probably caused by (rhizomorphs of) a necrotrophic parasitic Armillaria species, of which presence the black cambium leakage spots also are an indication.
