I want to know what we call anthracnose. I have two names for it from texts . Although it is probably an academic issue, I can find no reference either as to usage, or supercedures etc ! From Apiognomonia veneta & Gnomonia platani.... - which is currently in use, or are we talking different taxonomic classifications , subspecies or something ? TIA Tim

I wonder if it is not counter intuitive ? If the air is laden with particulates it would aid in the way suggested but cities and towns tend to have air funneled , and moving faster, in the streets. So it is that pollution is perhaps not greatest at the source but just a small distance from it, where it comes to form more densely and with less kinetic energy ? Just a theory !

At the recent TEP seminar, there was comment from a contractor who was basically saying that monitoring was not perhaps enough; this because, by removing affected branches where they pose a significant risk ( liability), it is only months before wood is again presenting the same risk . The result of re-infection/infection at a new site. The point being, it is too quick to stay even a step ahead ?

Managing Trees with Decay & Dysfunction
Bundle 2 replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
A complete lack of flare at the buttress region depicted. Quite striking . Id go along with that ! How has the footpath played out in this colonisation David ? I do love an ash but they are not the most defensive organisms ! This must surely depend on what we cannot see....target value ? (ie - occupation/usage of the footpath ? ) -
Mmmm...Fair enough. I was asking to challenge your management strategy. Its a shame to lose trees that might be retained. It sounded like you were saying they grow too big for themselves and need to be removed which tends to fly in the face of "self optimising" structures but hey - pops are sometimes better gone ! They pollard well however....Nice bit of decay in there too....Only thinking of the conservation value, especially in an hedgerow - corridors for wildlife n' all tha' ! Welcome to the forum BTW ! Tim

By 'come down" do you mean reduced or something else?
-
A simple enough process...one to which QTRA is ideally suited I would have thought....?
-
Someone asked in an earlier post whether there would be associated downloads etc...? Apparently, there is the intention to put up on the website at some point, downloads of all the speakers papers....
-
How about telling us something about the proposed site...( soil, shade. exposed, coastal etc etc...) ?
-
With respect to this "gem" of wisdom...it refers to the leaf break afaik.....?
-
Top advice. Except for the scaremongering....! Now that IS good advice !
-
Sickening..!
-
Id agree that this may lend more consideration to the other, no less important, aspects of a tree's contribution to amenity. There's plenty of plonkers with 20-20 vision after all !

That's a terrific photo Rob ! Im seeing alot of hoverflies this year atm...they are more black and white ! I thought some of you would like to see this extraordinary behaviour by honey bees. Ive never seen it with european honey bees...these were once domesticated I reckon. This colony is totally exposed on the underside of a branch...complete with wax comb and presumably, a queen in there somewhere! Gonna collect them and put them in a nuc box to overwinter them. They wont survive like that otherwise ( imo ) Dead cool...the first thing they did was sting one of us ! lol
-
Aha...thanks Paul.....I meant AA Techie but hey,- right answer - top man ! Tim
-
Do I take that as a no then...? Paul? Janey, Hama?...anyone?
-
Has this been finalised ?
-
Hello... Looks like the tree was recently , heavily reduced...? Because of the fungus I wonder?
-
Seeing a few dotted around; dead ! I cant help thinking the nice 'clean" suburban garden environment in which I see them standing is only a bad thing for the trees in that it can be good for Armillaria spp....?
-
Typical...... Im lagging behind as usual then ! cheers
-
check this out......how does a fungus this big hide from detection I wonder ? BBC Nature - Giant fungus discovered in China

Catch up with Glynn Percival here ! Im sure he can elucidate on most any query you may have regards this control . Dr Glynn Percival - 9th August 2011 | Barcham Trees

I wonder if this will meet with agreement- but I think Id have to say that here in the UK, we are taught that stems/boles which shows signs of reaction growth, similar to that which you illustrate Gerrit, are typically associated with a white rot ! It is interesting indeed that this should not be a conclusion we should rush to reach in light of what wee see and learn from your posts ! Good work. Fungi eh !
-
Very interesting. Some excellent information Gerrit! Are you saying however that the current interpretation and advice being given by the FC is in fact a bum steer? ( to be fair....Im not sure FC uses "Sudden Oak Death" but google quickly leads you to FC and advice on P ramorum...the association is clearly evident...! ) Sudden oak death - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tim

And what of the Heritage status of this once marvelous canal...is it affected by the removal of the tree cover ? Do we wait and see. Interesting techniques they are employing....I wonder what the HSE's view would be. It clearly needs to be as cost effective as it can ....I hope they succeed in reinstating it to former glory !
