Some of you may remember a large beech tree I dismantled in the grounds of a local hospital 2 years ago. ImageUploadedByArbtalk1432827440.269381.jpg.ef26a67c81cad1406ec22b41d8c365b8.jpg

 

A local tree officer had condemned the tree due to its surroundings and giant polypore being present. So a prompt removal took place.

 

The wood itself was shared out amongst the staff at the hospital for firewood except the base which was taken away to the guy I was climbing for house, where it's due to be carved into a sculpture of some sort. ImageUploadedByArbtalk1432827753.399303.jpg.1eb2a5d99c9480ace4d85584cf8fad1b.jpg

 

So 2 years on and still in its original transplanted place but yet to be carved this is happening! ImageUploadedByArbtalk1432827874.004793.jpg.3f39417d1702d2de31153c11238fb5cb.jpg

 

The growth also came just months after its take down but even 2 years later it's still wanting to survive. Now I know beech hate to be pollard and rarely survive but this is taking the..... Haha sorry it's nothing exciting but I had to share :)

Of the top of my head from memory mate about 5ton and 14ft long 6ft wide ish mate! Not exact figures :)

 

Be interested to see if its thrown out any roots...suspect its just throwing the shoots from stored reserves already in the trunk and they'll die off eventually.

 

It's being moved soon so we shall see mate :) interesting times
