3 big ol' Beeches to come out

[Jonny Burch]

Starting next week I've these Beeches to take out. 2 have Ganoderma and one has Meripilus.

 

As its for my local Parish I've said that I'd try and sell the timber for them, with any returns going back in their pocket.

 

Can be cut to whatever lengths required.

 

Thanks

Do they need to come out?

[Mountain man]

Yes they do! Let's not start that, read what Jonny said.

It's not uncommon for trees of that age to have fungal bracket or two, it's about what extent they are compromised, I can't make it out from the pictures.

[Mountain man]

Well they're going to be compromised next week, you can be sure of that.

Suppose so, shame.

Merrip on trees near play ground or roads .... Fell.

[Jonny Burch]

There was a Lime tree that was next to the main road that we had to fell due to extensive gano. It was left for so long that highways got involved saying that it had to go, pronto! It was hollow up to about 6ft. How it hadn't failed before amazed us. After meetings with the parish and the borough tree officer it's been decided that as a tree is next to a main road/junction and 2 are in a playground then felling is the only viable option. My grandfather planted a willow in the middle of the village pond and I've said ill plant substantial replacement beeches this winter out of my own pocket. It's sad that they have to go I'll admit. I'm also going to put a suitable piece in the local school and make a big bench out of it for the kids.

Circle of life and all that.

Playgrounds are the places where trees have very high value, and reasons to retain.

Streetscapes also.

Dam crime if the Parish is unwilling to get a professional assessment, with reasonable mitigation options listed. Their criteria are downright mycophobic.

 

O and limes can stand on sapwood quite well; that's common knowledge.
