You read me perfectly, thanks Tony that makes perfect sense, so is it true to say that branch grafts only develop from long term rubbing/crossing branches(actualyy i guess they must to develop the graft)

sometimes a branch will subside and just sit on a lower limb, this sometimes doesnt weld due to just sitting there, for some reason these types often get a kind of cankerous defect in the contact edges, I dont know why, but these are usualy the ones to fail in sudden movements.

 

complex old things them trees!

it isnt ALL about the books, if your open and receptive to it youll see it more.

 

reading and listening to the ideas of others has a profound influence on me, but it is my observational skills that teach me about the life of the forest. the books and others will help open your eyes and clear your focus, but at the end of the day you already have what you need, a desire to know.

agreed, I've always had a desire, more a hunger to devour, def a bit rusty on some of the theory tho', thanks buddy as I've said before you're an inspiration:thumbup:

Couple of pics showing the base of a parkland field maple spotted yesterday. I suspect from it's location, the species and the landform, that it is a remnant of a hedgerow field boundary that pre-dated the parkland. I don't know the history of the parkland though so could be completely wrong.
