A few pics that I thought were interesting

1: Beech with integrated bird bath

2: Beech root remains. Does this occur often? Not seen it before.

3: Larch leaning (~10 degrees) towards chainsaw with a full crown (on woodland edge). It was still standing 10 years after the damage was done. Lightning possible? For scale, the chainsaw is a 372xp.

I like no. 2.

Thinking about it, yes I have seen quite frequently, a continuation of heartwood decay/hollow stem maybe or even meripilus decaying the dysfunction tap roots and underside of the laterals/buttresses.

Arboriculture seems to be so made up of so many isolated disciplines when you first start, but as time goes past things come together like a jigsaw and the overall picture starts to emerge - things click:thumbup:

 

I call them lightbulb moments, when one little connection, an understanding of something or a grain of knowledge, closes an open circuit and illumination occurs:biggrin:
