Interesting Biomechanics

[Danavan]

Well not so much present biomechanics as in some of past posts but something I found interesting.

Unfortunately I didn't have the time in the day to take more photo's:blushing:

 

The tree had been colonized by a gano spp for some 20 years to my knowledge & had been successfully managed with this in that time. My last meeting with it was some 6 years ago when the gano had colonized more buttress area & was thought to be significant enough to warrant a choice of a 60% reduction or removal. The client went for the reduction in full knollage that tis may kill the tree due to the severity & spp (copper beech).

 

The tree responded well.

 

The clients finally decided to remove the tree a few months ago. A real shame as it was a feature in the tree scape around.

 

Any way, a testament to the bio mec's of both tree & fungi.

Were the clients getting old?

Hi Dan,

 

Do you know if the beech had Kretzschmaria also?

 

Looks a likely candidate.

Not sure where to put this one?

 

Small ash tree, branch eating fence been cut, possibly only a few months ago.... Branch detached from tree, branch stay on fence, branch stay alive:confused1:

How do you define alive?

[RobArb]

Haha, the buds look like they are about to shoot (not for much longer though:biggrin:)

Stored energy!!

 

We had a walnut butt in a yard, put out growth each spring, for at least eight years. But I don't think it was still alive:001_tt2:

Not that old just having problems with insurance co's due to a couple of trees being closer then 5 yards from their property

No signs of Kretzschmaria & no history of it's presence in past reports carryed out on the tree as far as I know.
