What's the Robur/Patrea ratio at your site?

Mostly robur a lot of ceris and rubra:001_smile:

[David Humphries]

Are the Ceris hybridising with either the Roburs or Patreas?

 

I've got a degree student looking for sites with the above, I'ts something I'm going to start looking at this year.

Anyone heard the expression "Oak before ash, you'll get a splash. Ash before oak, you'll get a soak" as a predictor of how wet the summer will be?

Nice pics David. I have been lucky enough to have been working in ancient oak woods for the last four weeks (almost exclusively petrea Monkeyd btw:001_smile:) on the banks of the river Fal, cutting down sycamore, and have had the privileige of witnessing the wood wake up.
