Leaf disorders

Evening,

 

The other day while taking down a mature Copper Beech tree I noticed some of the leaves had a disorder which I couldn't place. I couldn't find it in the books I have (It may be my poor book skills) so thought I would turn to Arbtalk for the answer.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Ben

Hard to be of great help with that image tbh Ben

 

Do you have other shots, perhaps a canopy context shot and also a shot of the top surface of the leaf ?

 

What was its growing environment like?

 

Possible that the beech may be deficient of necessary micronutrients like manganese or iron. But i'm not entirely convinced of that.

:001_smile: have they came up with any theories thus far?

 

The last contact I had with Alice Holt they thought that this was some form of abiotic factor - hail being a considered guess.

 

I'm not entirely convinced and will be looking at these trees closely during the same period next year.

 

Thanks for the bump.

That's not uncommon up here David, although tbh I've never investigated any further to identify the culprit:blushing:

 

I assume you never got to the bottom of the H.C problem? I thought at the time that due to the localisation the cause was climatic - but again it's only a guess.

 

Edit: not uncommon on lime
