Massaria on the March

[Al Cormack]

Jago Keen was just talking about Massaria on Country File.

Checking plane trees along the Thames at Henley.

Not found any to date.

I was at college with Jago at Merrist Wood in late 80's

Missed that on C file, will try and catch on Iplayer.

 

I understand that he's been involved in surveying and helps manage the issue for the City of London in the square mile.

Fascinating.

Not having any experience in Plane trees I can only liken it to old squirrel damage on Beech, they rot in a very similar way and then shed limbs.

what would appear to be the white rot decay of Auricularia again on a Massaria infected plane limb of significant size
