Hamadryads diary- a new chapter

[treeseer]

you see that confidence that arrogance, my attack is my defence against being or having my deep seated insecurities exposed, that feeling that was installed in me as a child that i was inadequate and not worthy. Silly? no doubt!

 

You are not alone in this. That instillation continues beyond childhood too. It must be met head-on, with confidence!

but the art is to develop REAL confidence, rather than to use the shield of arrogance to protect us.

one for my mate Mr Rainford Feel the force padawon:thumbup1:

 

 

 

 

 

[RobRainford]

Ganoderma (resinaceum?) causing a central cavity causing the tree to produce a bottle butt with reactive growth. The remaining wood looks like it's starting to buckle as the decay advances.

 

Would the buckles then turn into fistulina cankers?

tut tut tut:lol:

 

australe, and why would it form cankers associated with fistulina?

Damn, my other guess would have been australe!

 

Fistulina colonisation in the heartwood causing the buckles to turn into cankers. If that happens.

 

Padawon feels the force, but is unsure whether it was that spicy chilli or not

Rob, this isnt a fistulina colonisation, so why are you thinking this way?

 

If you have to ask questions and need to ring me, 07952 948202, anytime:001_smile:

 

Are you ready for the hama fastrac!

I know, the bulges on the stem got me thinking of fistulina, but as it's nothing to do with fistulina, ignore that bit

 

Cool, I'll save that! Cheers

 

Is the ganoderma causing a cone shaped cavity in the stem? I imagine that it would be that anyway as it advances, but would only extend so far upwards due to it's habits as a butt/stem rotter and where it has colonised. The decay would extend laterally as the tree puts on it's reactive growth.

 

Is that close to the situation or am I way off the Mark?

Your on it.

 

you can also see a shear bomb crack has long since sealed over.

 

poor old tree is trying hard to stay upright!

Only just seen this, I knew that was a shear bomb:thumbup:

 

I could've even told you it was healing, as I've been caught out before on that one!
