Beech trees.

[Marcus B-T]

First tree is in a park, has ustulina, reduced winter 2006 you can just see the new shoots on it and is still fine will get another shot sometime in spring so you can see it.

 

Second one has ustulina, is next to a school playground, reduced winter 2005 still gowing stong. Again will try to get another photo in the spring.

 

In both cases it was a hack it or loose it scenario

Thanks Marcus.

If you can remember, I would be V interested to see the Trees this coming spring, if you do manage to get any shots. Know you're very busy

 

 

If in the position to manage/check on disfunction and/or decay, on Trees like these, Then retension is worth while imo.

I think that the second Tree still has an imposing structure to it, and in real terms, how often do we see Trees like this removed and not replaced. Tpo'd or not

That pic looks like a worthy candidate for the photo competition to me.

Probably the last thing you would want see growing from your beech tree though.
