Thoughts please on a Beech problem

[farmer rod]

Is the guy in the first shot calling the rozzers about some weirdo in the cemetry taking pictures ?

 

 

 

 

good piece of documentation Rob

nope, hes on the phone to his Mrs explaining about putting diesel in her car when he should have put petrol. Its in the body language

The state of the tree aside I'm guessing the same outcome for the beech with either the Rigidoporus ulmarius or Perenniporia fraxinus type fungi would be the same as ganoderma and ultimately would be to fell also is felling likely to be the only option for the other trees with gano? Its a difficult situation from my point of view as I've been asked to look at two specific trees and just a quick look at the rest and the quick look, more by Rob too be honest, has identified a number of other potentially serious issues going on.

Rob,

Pics 7-10 : not Ganoderma's, but probably a species with white spores, such as Rigidoporus ulmarius or Perenniporia fraxinus.

Pics 15-19 : .

 

Cheers for that

 

Looking at both Rigi and Peren, i'm leaning towards the Perenniporia from what it looked and felt like close up. As Detritus asks, what is the long term effects of perenni on Beech? (the tree had a big ole wound anyway)

Yes i too would like to know the effects of this fung on this tree species

 

Detritus, don't feel for one second i'm taking over this. I am interested from an educational point of view its just handy that its down the road from me. I can see why it would be a difficult position regarding the other trees, especially from a monetary point of view on the clients behalf if (or when) the trees are to be felled.

 

I agree about the HC, it does need to come out, but i would also take out the Beech with Merip and Turkey oak with Armillaria but thats just me..

 

I don't envy you taking to the clients on this one but as i said before it would be a good experience to see this job through and complete it with the clients full co-operation, like i said, if you need a hand, for anything, give me a shout:001_cool:

[detritus21]

Rob I'll certainly give you a shout. I really appreciate what you've put in. If I get any other jobs a need an extra pair of hands on I'll give you a shout also.

1. I'm guessing the same outcome for the beech with either the Rigidoporus ulmarius or Perenniporia fraxinus type fungi would be the same as ganoderma and ultimately would be to fell

2. also is felling likely to be the only option for the other trees with gano?

 

1. Correct.

2. No, the other beeches would need identification of the Ganoderma species first before further investigation, assessment of the decay and diagnosis of the condition of each one of the trees.

Thanks Gerrit:thumbup:

 

And you too detritus, tis not a problem, i enjoy doing this sort of stuff off my own back, its a big learning curve:thumbup1:

I would be more concerned about the ghost car in pic 11

Freaky!!

 

No, its the hdr setting on my phone cam, takes 3 pics at different exposures but the subject needs to be still, unlike cars:lol:

I know those trees! May go and have a gander. Quite interesting. It's a shame that some of them will have to come out though. some nice specimens.

 

What do you think, RobArb me and detritus, all done on a Sunday?

[detritus21]

I was thinking we'd be done by 10 for jam and scones
