Is it a red flowering horse chestnut? Aesculus x carnea?

Hi Rob, yer it is a red flowering. I am concerned as the core of the trnk is long dead, im surprised it is still holding.

 

removal or are there treatments?

Wouldn't worry about it then unless as stated the canker girdle the entire stem.

 

The tree, Aesculus x carnia, is susceptible to heavy bud proliferation (which is what this is). It can look very unsightly but does no real harm unless the above mentioned girdling happens. The tree can survive with this for a good while until the cambium flow is disrupted.

 

So, off one little photo, i would say "don't worry about it", but that is off one little photo so don't hold me to anything:001_tt2:

 

And Rob, Ash...?

No ID was given before my post that I can see. And it's a bad quality pic to look at on a little screen so I thought ash! Looked like ash canker to me. Never mind then! Can't get them all right!

Great advice thanks for your time.

Further question...the picture is only one of the 'infected'. there is another, much bigger 'Aesculus x carnia' in my dads garden. I have not got photos but will try and get some tomorrow as it is much more substantial than the one i have shown a photo of.

It would be great if I could have some advice on that one as well if possible.

Its bud proliferation, not an infection as such..

 

Yep, pics and i can "try" to advise:biggrin:

Let me know if these dont work, I havent quite qorked this posting picture jibber jabber yet.

[RobArb]

Yes, i can see them

 

Its just heavy bud proliferation, a symptom of the type of tree unfortunately. Just keep your eyes open for crown die back over the coming years, for now the tree can cope (IMO)
