Sorry to put this on your thread john but i thought it fitted in here i wonder what members SULE reports would be for this tree it stands in a meadow with a footpath passing near but not close to the tree. the thing is it is not usefull for timber but is very important for habbitat.

Same here my ash cordwood is soaked and has even got fungi growing on it what a wash out i am finding every spare shed and barn i can.

Cool, well not for the tree:001_smile:

I have got a bough the same as that and it has been there 8 years it allways seem to be in young mature oaks with solid wood it just does not flex this is where the fungi comes in and rots the heart. I will try and get a picture of an oak tree about 4-500 years old totally on the lean holding on by two toes ,it is also hollow. i told my boss it would soon be over and he told me it had been like that since 1947. A good wind or a good crop of acorns could bring it down.
