Hi,

 

it's about now where I've thought perhaps a photo would help here, but I'll try and describe my query.

 

At my work, I have a 25' high beech stem that has long since died. It is riddled with Ganoderma and insect holes and is a fine habitat. In a perfect circle around it however, approx 5m from the stem, is a circle of fern-leaved beech, all leaning outwards. It's a really nice feature, providing shade on a hot summers day. From what I have been told, the original beech crown wept to the ground and suckered into the ring. Is this normal? I've never heard of it occurring before, but then again I have only knowingly seen one of these. Do I need to get a photo?
