I really hate using punctuation….. FULL STOP!

Just for Dan who’s obsessed with punctuation. Why did the full stop break up with the question mark? Ans. It was always questioning everything!

Hello all, from suspect bot. Steven P, you correct in your observation of Road, Kerb, Garden. The so called kerb area is part of my garden. I decided to move the fence area back, thus missing out on the awkward situation of having to fence around the tree. In a normal situation, I would have used the tree trunk as part of the anchorage system to attach the fence to the tree as a sort of living fence post. However, given that the tree in the photo has a TPO on it, I couldn’t do that. My question is simply that for the first time I have noticed that this fungus has appeared and I am asking the advice of all of you on this forum of what you would do in my situation, especially given that the council is involved in any debate regarding the the possible felling of this tree. They are not happy with the thought of me felling the tree because of any comeback from the people who placed the TPO on it in the first place. However if the tree is diseased, showing following distress eg. Branch die back, premature fallen shrunken curled brown and yellow leaves, branches falling that snap easy, termites everywhere, tar spot to mention a few things and now dryads saddle appears. Well what do you Think?

Fungus appeared this year on twin stemsycamore tree. Growing out of top of old cut wound. Given left hand stem on picture is leaning at appropriate 20 degrees at base is this likely to be problematic at some time in the future in terms of the tree becoming unsafe.Tree is approximately 25m tall. Fungus is dryads saddle. Tree over hangs highway and close to houses.

To dalton trees. First of all I’m not a bot or AI. This tree is in my garden. Here is another picture. Left hand stem on picture leans and now fungus has appeared in previous cut wound. Tree approximately 25m tall. Sycamore tree. Do you think it’s compromised given the V gap and the fungus.

Worried that the structural integrity of the tree may be compromised. That rot might have set in. Does the fungus show up at the start of decay or at an advanced stage.

Fungal Growth (Likely Dryad’s Saddle – Polyporus squamosus): The bracket fungus visible is growing from the wound site of a previously cut branch. This is growing on the base of 100 year old twin stem sycamore tree.
