Unhealthy Beech?


Matthew Arnold

Recommended Posts

Ive noticed that one of the Beech trees in our avenue doesn't have a really happy, healthy crown like the others. It is one of the first to come out and the first to drop leaves during autumn. No sign of fungi but has a good lean on it and one of the roots has adapted to the lean. There is a small black lesion on the tension root but only think its bacterial flux. Any ideas what is causing the thin crown?

Its a serious case of the vertically challenged beech boring beetle. Very serious indeed.:001_rolleyes:

 

The tree should be felled immediately and incinerated following processing and being distributed to many willing clients who will pay to incinerate for you.:thumbup:
