V.T.A symptoms "the chatty trees"

[sloth]

Just a tree I drive past now and then, no idea of work plans for it. One of many fine, I think old boundary oaks, along the road. Many very poorly looked after! I'm pretty certain it was on a ditch line. The top of the ditch being pulled in to fill it. Causing the root damage, and then being turfed over.

Would you consider forming a group to raise funds to save these old trees?

 

I think we could rustle up some help from various bodies.

Hmm, possibly. I don't know who owns the trees. I suspect they are all owned by different people. Is it something you have done before? Be a great shame if they all declined and ended up as firewood.

I wonder if they are TPO'd?

Find out and keep us posted, I think they are worth some effort.

I saw a lovely expressive bark pattern today at Windsor and thought of this thread so here it is.

 

Oaks having thick bark provide us with the easiest of languages to read compressions cause the bark to make diamond patterns, tension to increase sloughing of bark in various levels from the subtle to the obvious, but here we see a helical twisting of the tissues. This area of twisted bark is where the failure will be instigated, and it is due.

I kinda wanted a failure to happen while we were there today! Would have been awesome!
