They're amazing. They would be great to do some carving with. Any plans for them?

 

Going to sit on my shelf of weird and wonderful interesting biomechanical wonders..........though it won't be long before it breaks under the weight of all the crap I've come across over the years :biggrin:

David, can you explain the term 'haloing' for me in a bit more detail please?

 

Felling adjacent trees or prunning back branches that are encroaching/shading a target tree (usually a veteran/ancient) to allow more light for epicormic growth to help develop lower canopies on retrenching trees.

 

Worth remembering that this type of work should ideally be carried out over a phased time line as a number of species can suffer from over exposure to direct sun light, if carried out in one hit.

Nice find, unusual to see that on branches with (presumably) a lot of flex, being so far out...

 

We were suprised that the grafts were as solid as they were Kev, thought the flex would have limited a strong bonding.

 

 

 

Don't think I've ever seen an example like this on beech before
