Large Scotspine opinions please

Ok I'll take a stab at this!

 

The gold paint could be the reminiscence of dyers mazegill which is parasitic causing brown heart rot, normally stating from the base eventually up the stem.

 

Or!!!!! I have no idea and just fount the closet thing I could think of in the fungi app!!

 

Either way it needs felling.

[Stephen Blair]

There's some buckling of some kind going on Adam, with the ground build up and heavy lean .

[Adam Bourne]

How far is it from the road mate?

[White Noise]

A deffo fell if ever i saw one . Although be sure to replant as soon as possible to help stop any soil erosion of the banking .

[Stephen Blair]

Roads not an issue mate. Concerns for buildings.

[Adam Bourne]

I think despite what's going on, buckling, traffic compression in the root system, fungi, ect where talking about a pine! There's really not much you can do to it other than remove. There's obviously something going on but in my opinion and with only seeing 2 photos I'd say out it. sorry I can't give any scientific explanation buddy

Fell it due to you missed the pot of gold and you have to earn some money.

What is the crown density like? Might be worth mentioning if it's less than 2 1/2 to 3 years worth of needles.

Hahaha... what the hell... trying to work out if ANYONE is being serious in this thread?! I see a tree with normal 'armpits' under branch attachments and probably some yellow lichen?!!

Perhaps, but as Matheck has proven: trees WILL fall on your house and kill your children.

 

A gentleman in a flat cap told this to my mother once. It is all the client needs to know.
