    Sorry it is not a fracture cut but this bough fell 2 years ago on a veteran turkey oak i cut it back only to this point as the pipistrelle bats like small cracks like this but look at the new growth. This must be a good way, good for habitat and good for the tree? But as Dr lonsdale said it is better to take these large boughs back slowly.

    Picture 1 is an ash graft. Pictures 2and3 is a wild service tree about 250 years old but sadly got honey fungus and a bad wound on the trunk. Picture 4 is a zelkova with dutch elm disease maybe the first in britain?

    Wrong Agrilus steve. Agrilus pannonicus they enter the bark tunnel around the trunk which takes two years then exit by then they have cut off the supply moving in the cambian and kills the tree. Then enters the oak pinhole borer through the exit holes of the Agrilus beetle.
