i was told that small black line was the 'third ascending timber' the trees natural defense against infection and rot. but most of my knowledge has been picked up along the way, and my memory is crap.

dont want to derail your thread dave but i took a pic of bleedin cankor for you yesterday me thinks:confused1:

Glyn Percival from Bartletts, believes that the lesions can be easily delt with by chemical bark sprays.

Can't remember the trade name at the mo, will have a gander at my Barchams notes on the morrow.

Worth putting up in it's own thread Stevie.
