The Ents make a move

Great thread and pics!

 

This was a beautiful Fagus pendula , more than 200 years old.

I said she was because last November she got totally uprooted.

 

These are pics from internet (I took those in the previous post last year):

That was a very fine tree Langur, where was it?

 

Have the younger phoenix sections been left after the parent fell?

 

 

thanks for sharing

It was in a little town in the north of Italy.

 

I guess and hope they have been left.

When I get a chance to go there I'll take some pics and try to get some info on the cause of the uprooting.

 

It's a pleasure sharing on this great forum.

Look forward to learning what ever you find

 

Where abouts in northern Italy ?

[Langur]

The town is more or less 30 km north of Milan.

Not far from where I live.

An area I have yet to have had the pleasure to visit.

 

Is it near Lugano?

 

I have been to Milan once & stayed in Piacenza just south of Milan.

 

 

How are the Pinus species fairing in northern Italy?

Is the pine processionary moth an issue?

Lugano is in Switzerland

 

And about the pleasure of visiting this area...well..trust me there are far far better places in Italy than the area surrounding Milan.

Anyway I' m still not so close to the big city.....rivers and hills are very nice, and the mountains are not that far.

 

About the pine processionary moth...surely it is an issue, and it is constantly increasing year by year.

Pinus Nigra are the most damaged in the forests, Pinus Pinea in urban areas.

Now starting on Cedars too.

Not good to hear.

 

I understand the moth is on the march at a fairly rapid rate.

Another issue we here further north will have to get used to before too long.

 

Keep posting the pictures

I was deadwooding some Cedars today and I noticed this little Rhus Typhina trying to go somewhere....
