Bark damage


Dendron

Recommended Posts

Ok, this is the story, a few month's ago I noticed a fair bit of damage to the bark of a Dawn Redwood and put it down to some idiot with a dog being responsible for it. It was torn in strips from the ground up, to about 4feet right down to bare wood.

 

Recently I read somewhere that badgers for some reason have a tendancy (for some reason) to do this to this particular tree. So my question is- Has anyone else had experience of this ?

Were is the tree situated? That would be my first question. Is there a badger set nearby or a badger latrine around? Badgers usally rumage for worms and roots , i dont know of them using bark for nesting. Wrong time of year for them to be making warm nests for their young. Are there any tracks or paw prints to give them away?

 

If its an urban site , not likly to be badgers,Squirrels maybe. This FC website might help.
