Could someone shine a little light on why this tree is in this state Please.

 

Thank you.

I've seen that before on sycamore, I 'm not sure what the cause is but I'd guess some sort of bleeding canker which is killing off sections of cambium. I suppose You have tried looking it up in a book?

Its as if it has had a another tree lie against it for years, then along comes some developers, dig through it roots, slap a road and light right beside it and winch off the offending blown tree. The fungis has turned up later on.

Just my 2p.

There are 3 more Syc's in similar state on that site!

I have seen that before a few times as well but never looked into what it was sorry... will be good for some smartypants to shed some light on it for me as well

[Adam Bourne]

the fungus i THINK is Auricularia auricula-judae (Jews Ear) which is common on elder, beech and some sycamores, and is a deadwood fungi, the scars may have come from a lighting strike which i've seen locally to.

x2 for root damage

I don’t know what caused the damage to the tree but if they keep leaning ladders on your motor like that it will soon look like the tree.

i cant imagine what the chain oil and the rake lying on the grass is doing for your stress levels mate:001_rolleyes:

 

Looks like there is enough angle on the ladders so its just sitting on the gutter, its a landy mate, its probably broken down:biggrin:

Rake and oil is irrelevant, grass grows back by itself for free and that’s the punters problem. That ladder is leaning on the alpine lite window and they cost money, surely that touches a note with a Scotsman.
