Beach Cavity

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Looking at the reaction of the woundwood do you not consider it is down to the way the initial cut was made at the branch collar and hence good reaction growth rather than Angio/Gymnosperms.

 

What the tree tries to do when a cut is made past the optimum collar point is to make it oval, as this spreads the load accordingly with the axiom, (mattheck) but THIS woundwood is not forming evenly as in a collar cut, nor as an oval as in spreading the load as in flush cuts, indicating that there is a need for rapid growth at the lower nearest camera part of the underside of the limb. this is because there is more stress at this point and the tree is trying to compensate for the load change that occurred when this branch was removed and the core of the remaining wood went dysfunctional leaving only a cylinder to take the loads, increasing compression force (tube/hosepipe kinking), and making it show us this by its reactive growth, in the body language.

Whats been going on at the section on the trunk where it suddenly seems to go very much smaller dia, the point level with the apex of the building in the background and 2 mts above the fence line, it appear there may have another large limb?

 

This is the point where the two wounds are in the first picture, both are about 20 - 30 years old and were originally filled with cement. There's no signes of infection. Above here where the diameter reduces are the two main branches of the tree.

Cement, *sigh*
