I also have an example of this on a Beech tree in a woods down my lane. It is the only Beech in the Beech woodland that has this type of bark on it. I will try to post a few pics when I get home.

What's the orientation, aspect and exposure of the two specimens in terms of where the pictures were taken from Marco?

 

 

Is the bark in the first shot the same all around the trunk?

 

.

 

The trees are not exposed parse, they are within what I would describe as a large garden with woodland. The bark is the same all around the stem AND in the crown on limbs over about 3 years old.

 

These are the only mature Beech for some distance and I surmise that the original owner planted them along with sweet chestnut and oak for a crop? He may have kept pigs perhaps? There is a pond on site too - watering livestock maybe? I am unsure of the history of the site.

 

The odd thing David is that only 1 out of the 5 looked like this.

 

Tony, have you seen anything like this in your 'beech travels'?
