No, no, no, Don't be ridiculous...... This isn't the Dark Ages.....

 

 

Wassailing..... That's where the answer lies!

The tree is under stress from a parasitic host . Experts can only deal with problems that they have been schooled on ?

 

Tunnel Vision .. ? Think outside of the box .

 

 

In my thinking this tree has very little foot traffic below and could be managed safely .

 

 

I would say with proper care and feed this tree should and could put on vigorous growth next year .

I think this was realised a few years ago, just a media stir.

If they get overexcited about it some organisation will spend £400k on saving it and kill it in the process.

At least several clones of it now exist.

Mr Kipling won't be letting us down with his deep filled sugar pies.

I'm no expert but wouldn't mind hugging it, if that counts? Although that may make things worse.

One issue is that there are no legal treatments for armillaria. That said, I think if it was mine I would be inclined to wash down my patio with Armillatox and the washings might spread a bit....
