Tree's failing?.....So move the target.

[Amelanchier]

We know from the pictures that there are at least three BETTER Oaks on site...

 

What's better about them?

 

The tree doesn't care what it looks like! Its suffered a partial failure and stablised. Its more stable now than its ever been!

 

Admit it Huck, You love it really!

Is there not a little bit of tree surgeon= £££ from cutting up trees+ firewood

and not ££££= fencing contractor and no firewood.

 

Good to see a different approach to fallen or patially fallen trees, if the tree isn`t a danger to anyone why remove it, same in forests why take all the dead wood away when there are so many insects and animals that need dead wood to survive.

 

I think the preception of clean and tidy = no dead wood or dying trees about is wrong.

Nature is a balancing act and often humans get involved way to early and break the natural food chain and habitat.

 

Farmers are the same nice straight tramlines and clean fields of wheat, big frowns if you saw a poppy in a field of wheat or the tramlines were wigglly up the field, ( *cor look at that they don`t know what they are doing*).

until they realised they could sell thier ORGANIC wheat for 4times the price of thier normal wheat with half the input costs on the organic.

 

nice one Monkeyd look forward to seeing how the live felled oak survives in the future i bet it will outlast most of us on here!!

I agrea with stoxs, it's nice to see someone going againts continuity and making a feature of a fallen tree, as was said it's not a danger and i looks kinda pretty in a well kept landscape.

The next tree in the line has a bit of a lean-on. Fell it, before it pulverises a deer.

Nah, leave it be and if it does I'll have the deer carcass

Save us a haunch.

I suppose I shouldnt say it or laugh about it but what if one day the tree fell a bit more and poor old bambi was trapped underneath! Would make interesting reading in the local paper that one:tongue_smilie:

Euthanasia has a place, IMO.

 

Its a sorry looking sight.

Deer damage to buttresses caused by rubbing and standing when browsing.
