Interesting Biomechanics

and the next tree along.

Good shots Sean,

 

loving seeing the Beech canopies unfurl now

Can't quite work out the orientation Tony, is that vertical or on a horizontal plain, away from the camera?

looks horizontal to me......

duh, trees and fence say its level as seen face to face! lol

[David Humphries]

I obviously can't connect my intention to you two fine mernimblers

 

Ofcourse the bleedin branch is horizontal, does "the nipple" slant away from the camera or straight down?

 

Simples

Nipple David? now thats not a very technical term, least not on trees!

 

if you mean the old ocluded branch stub it is centre points inline with branch but at a downward angle.

Probably nothing you guys havn't seen before, but this thread inspired me to go down to my local woods and look for some grafts. Cheers for an interesting thread

I certainly find the dynamics of branch form very interesting & can quite happily look at shots like these.

 

But then I'm quite sad

 

Keep on posting Ben.

 

If you do have any contacts at Kew that can get you access, then I'm sure you would find some truly great examples of Biomechanics there.
