Diseased Wellingtonia

[treemenders]

Hi again.

 

Been called out by a friend to look at a Wellingtonia.

 

It looks more like a Larch in winter!!!

 

I didn't think much attacked these, aside of Honey F.

 

There's no fungal growths, no compaction, no drout (by a river), no sign of anything really....

 

It's only 70 - 80ft. Approx 6ft in diameter.

 

There is tip growth at the top, but the rest has little on the branches.

 

Any clues?

 

Hope it's not the one TreeFrogs doing - awful drop zone and a lot of wood humpin!!

 

Cheers.

 

Andrew

Hi John - I'm down in the Forest Nr Downton. Haven't used the site much before - better with trees than PCs!!!! Not sure what the rules are - can I give you my number to call me on the forum. Don't wanna pick out curtains with you, just look at a tree. Am swamped at mo and there's no real hurry. Chap was quoted an absurd sum by a passing surgeon and told it must come down immediately. It's not really posing any threat if it fails. If we're in the area at the same time, I'll happily take you up on a wander around the tree. Cheers mate. Andrew

We reduced a row of beech trees in the back garden of a house in Warminster. And some guys from Downton with treemenders on written on there chipper were by chance doing exactly the same thing in the next door garden. Was that you?

Yes - We get all over the shop - Did 2 days on that job - neighbour kept wanting "a little more" off his Sycamore, which was actually an Ash! Hope all's well. Andrew
