White Willow

 

Been standing dead for about 18 months.

Ganoderma, Daedaleopsis, Auricularia, possible Armilaria & drought conditions have all played a part in it's demise.

 

Is next to a newly dug out pond, which will atract public, so have reduced to stabilise, and will program (after annual visual inspection) for further reduction in 3 - 5 years.

 

Sticks taken away to reduce risk of fire, cord left & stacked on site for habitat.

David,

Are you planning on monitoring and documenting the succession of the different dead wood species of fungi on these willows ?

As alluded to above, the small arrisings were carted off site & the cord was stacked in shade for fungal & invertebrate habitat.

 

This has been inspired by a visit to Ted Greens deadwood playground at Windsors' High Standing, a couple of years ago.

some gratuitous fung, coro, fracture, deadwood shots...........

 

Nice bit of work :thumbup1: . I assume the whitish/greyish brackets on one branch are of D. confragosa ?

And do you not fear the remaining branches of the trees will be used as climbing "ladders" by children in risk of falling down because of breaking off of the already partially decomposed branches ?

Yes, confragosa Gerrit.

 

Tree is bigger than it looks in the shots.

 

Kids would need a ladder to get up it.

 

 

If any make it up, I'll offer them a job :biggrin:

Is the wild flower mix re sown anually or is nature allowed to run it's course?

 

Pretty sure the flowers are allowed to just get on with it Jane.

 

But the Heaths not some Oz-like field of multi coloured florals though :001_tt2:
