    Interesting David...Not atypical. Did the exudation at the stem not reinforce your suspicions? Quality aerial view! Tim

    Cherries all have "great hairy bruisers" for root systems. Nursery production has given rise to a great many grafts also. Enjoying the thread!

    I understand your point and agree wholeheartedly. This the reason why police officials shoot themselves in the foot, undermining the entire process of enforcing important safety aspects of our lives through education and fines. I dont even object to fines ( within limits of course) as the service is agreed as necessary, and desirable ( there's alot of dickheads about!) but IT AINT FREE. However, and its a big, stick in your craw, naff you off BUT Stevie (you'll excuse the pun..butt? )...THATS SO PETTY!

    Yeah. That's quite a neat trick mate!

    ...."looks like a map of Africa or a dawg with 1 ear......' Looks kinda Bovine to me.....!

    This thread rocks, it really does. Arbtalk goes turbo with yous two posting your fungal fettish! (oops! No offence!)

    Leave it..or monolith the crown if you have targets..... I seen this kind of thing (and worse ) roadside.

    This is the reason that Tony Kirkham stopped using it at Kew I believe.

    Mmmm..looking at the images again, I was mistaken in thinking the larger, what I now see as a "lateral", is not upright! I also see the opposite side throwing new wood up into the boughs above.

    Its the obsession with tidiness..or perhaps for the photographer?

    Good post. A good point. Oak is historically an open grown lover! Exact right habitat.... Decompaction...Id say it depends on the method. Terravent? No..it picks it up and slams it right back down again....this will only further compact the problem...

    I like the pics too! I see how trained the eye needs become to pick out the fb's sometimes.../:001_smile:

    IMO because the upright encourages only growth that conflicts the "habit" of existing canopy architecture.... And in response to removal...not entirely against but it is a mighty big wound!

    Mulch reigns supreme...bollox all that fertilisation,decompaction, vertical mulching ( had a few beers I should warn you !).....Mulch is the way forward.......Im looking at this for parkland trees with historic livestock issues. Compost tea anyone? Tim.

    Totally crap way of pointing it out...but isnt it here?
  16. Bundle 2
    Quite so man...I really should spend more time and look a bit closely at the images....They are formed in a way that rules out all those I suggested.... In my defense I was pretty lathered...excuses excuses...excuse for another foray me thinks!! Steve..I aint saying nuffink on the grounds that I might incriminate myself !

    Cool...I dont mean Pholiota..Ill think of it in a mo..We all know it..it comes up over and over..it affects oak..the root plate is "apparently" compromised...needs infection court to gain entry... Collybia fusipes.....(?)

    1- Rigi 2-tuberculosis 3-colour saturation is bad but an armillaria?(based on kempt garden scenario tbh)poss Pholiota!

    Ha ha...there is certainly no point trying when Holland deliberately imports the critters to make a few extra bucks..... I suppose you have read of the decision to control Japanese Knotweed here in the uk by biological control? There's no point in a Plant Passport scheme when those writing the rules move the goal posts to suit. Political mumbo JUMBO ........! And dont tell me you are against a scheme that seeks to prevent the importation of Rainforest hardwoods and plants like the Tree Fern? Effective? not entirely. Plaudable..? Most definitely!

    It is a recognised method of survey Tony...Imagine you are contracted to survey a site and the weather is appalling (or even excellent) There is little credence to the survey without resorting to this "cunning plan". Its a way of extending the "window" of the survey, thereby allowing a more informed accumulation and interpretation of the data. Why restrict the collation of information when a more rounded overview can be achieved......(trapping also) "Light touch paper and stand back" ....? Then you can stick pins in them!

    Good bro'...

    Humans are a bit smarter than plants ( although it's questionable; I certainly do not subscribe without fuss to the evolutionary faction who believe in an empirical superiority ) They have not got legs mate..... Anyone can break the law . If you want it enough. I turn oin the tube and watch Howard Marks on Never mind the Buzzcocks, or turn over and Keith Richards is talking about a lifetime of drug addiction....NO PROBLEM.

    Tony...this is the aspect of the Hatfield "Biology of decay etc " that you would have found interesting me thinks......(like me actually! )
  24. Bundle 2
    Would have thought it possible myself but no argument from me. Consider the Plant Passport Scheme. It has been in place for longtime now. Was it not designed to prevent this kind of thing? Tim.

    I understand we have the Dutch to thank for the Harlequin. Imported as a bio-control to Holland and whether accidently imported to the uk or perhaps they made it "on the wing" to the shores of Blighty,(I do not know for sure) there is the direct link.
