chestnut blue sappy stuff??????????

[bob]

was dismantling another damn chestnut today and about 2pm it started to RAIN again and all the road turned blue then went home with a load of logs and it hammered it down and my drive had a blue river running along it

This has happened many times before could someone please tell me why as everyone seems to think i had thrown oil or diesel everywhere

Now I'm sure there was a thread about this somewhere http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1157&highlight=horse+chestnut+blue ha found it

not sure but i think its the tannin in the sap, when you find a nail in the middle of an oak it goes blue around same thing there i think:confused1:

[Yorkshireman]

could we not have it in pink

 

Why ?

[Amelanchier]

Its not Tannin. Its Aesculin as noted in the post Andy linked to (that no-one read )

[Pete Mctree]

Why ?

 

Prefers pink as the blue clashes with his bra n nickers!
