Hey chaps anyone come across this before ??

 

Mature Beech tree with no signs of stress or decay.

 

May have some compaction issues on one side as its elevated tight on a tarmac road.

 

Any opinions will be appreciated.

I spotted this, (phytophthora), on a beech alongside a private road. I first saw it about 5 years ago and the tree seems fine.

However, we now do work at the site and on closer inspection it has ustulina to boot. We may end up taking it down though the client is keen to keep it.

Paul,

Once the hyphae of Ustulina invade the cambium of a beech, it can also produce small cracks in the bark at the base of or higher up the trunk, from which a black ooze is secreted.
