saprobic G.applanatum?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Thanks for the replies guys....

hadnt considered r ulmarius -

 

to reduce the tree 'enough', i think, will result in further problems.

unfortunately theres little scope for 'soil fixing' due to the tree being virtually hemmed in by concrete.

 

Unfortunately its either fell or leave alone.

 

keep us posted and get loads of photos!

Just a couple of pics of the tree in its setting.

managed to make some time to positive the ID - Rigidoporous.

I havent been asked to formally survey the tree but what would be the best form of further investigation?

 

PiCUS?

 

Dean.

 

P.S - Steve you were right on your hunch

I suggest you treat this with the utmost suspicion, this fungi is a root rotter.

 

That was a good call steve, at that hieght it is most unusual.

 

This is what rigi does to poplars, i got to see this one shift a fortnight before she finally went down.

Is this the one we stopped at and had a quick look at? The one where there were only some fb:s and the tree was removed.
