A pollards eye view

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Not thinking interms of the historic preservation of the site & trees (They're tpo'd apparantly) more thinking about the atmospheric pollutants off and above the base. (Like Stanstead & Hatfield)

 

 

 

.

 

only if they are below the zone in which airgraft "dump" fuel in mid flight to taxi or make a safe "explosive free " landing.

 

theres a spot outside heathrow where the oaks are dying in ther droves and certainly this is a large part of the cause. its under the taxi flight circle:thumbdown:

cheers big ears, too near the beaten path for me!

 

 

hama the beaten track is there for a good cause, its a good job where not in Tennessee the patriot state of shooting stuff, shooting a trespasser out there is like sport to them, my excuse is getting the map out turning it upside down on its side and saying are you sure this is not the footpath? love it mate.....

 

 

some corkers there david still need to get my lime tree pollard pictures been meaning to call in for ages now but she is a beaut, approx 450-600 y/o no body knows for sure as the core is completely hollow about 16ft diameter sod it i'll go round tomorrow.....

I have been escorted out a few times!

 

but often my presence results in a conversation that often results in me being invited to see more!

[Adam Bourne]

really excited about posting these and was even more excited to go back and see it after 8 years, local people can't make up there minds but around 450-600 years old, most of the top had died back 8 years ago so i reduced it down by approx 30% mass, to remove some wait to help preserve it, its not been touched since and is still or even more remarkable than i remembered.........sorry i'm a day late.

 

it really is one to see and the new owners have said we're welcome any time so if your in the area.......

one of the fungi is Probably G. applanatum but the other with the grey pores and white rim is a tough one.

 

what a tree, well worth a visit some time:thumbup1:

as for the fungi, pretty sure hamma is right with the second but the first got me to, was hoping hamma would of known but maybe someone will enlighten shortly....

 

hamma your welcome any time mate. no need to trespass on this one ....

I was guessing at Postia caesia.

 

But its not right, not really enough on the shots to go with.
