Hi all,

 

My Dad who is an trainer/assessor was running a CS30 course in Buckinghamshire last week and came across a fallen branch with these all over them. He says he has never seen this before and wanted to know what and why??

 

 

Anyone know ??

Can you tell me what features give such a positive ID please

Thanks , am I right in thinking that radiata are attached in a similar fashion but perhaps not in fours ?

Turkish Pine (Pinus brutia)? A shot of the needles would be help, but that would make it too easy.
