What's happened to the amazing Beech tree in the original post?

 

 

Still standing and blowing both minds and bio mechanical perceptions.

Really should share this one with Duncan

But as Ali alluded to on the Arbcology FB page there is now extensive colonisation by both Kretzshcmaria deusta and Perenniporia fraxinea in between two of the semi autonomous units.

We'll be looking to reduce the sail on this section later this year.

 

 

What's particularly interesting with the natural bracing is that we can compare them with an image from the 1950's.

 

The orientation of the front brace has lowered slightly due to the stem that it's fused to having subsided to some degree.

Yes, get an email over to Duncan, he'd love to see it. And I'm sure there may well be need for a new type and term for this particular natural brace.

 

Supporting wood all ways looks like muscle to me and it's a good analogy for explaining to a layman. It's especially amplified on the arm like braces we see on this Beech.

 

Great stuff! :-)
