cheers again for the information is it best if using epsom salt to put it down early in the growing season so has a better chance of been drawn up by the tree or any time ok? -
is it in the first fork or is that just leves or shadow
-
great shots especially the photo looking up the track at the sequoia's
-
your right gerrit i have seen cracks on one of the lower limbs at its union,the tree up in the woods so not a hazard, i will enjoy watching the fungi do its work i imagine in time it will be just a stump with the limbs broke off will post some better pics when next going past.

the hoppus foot is what you think and it allows for wastage

i havent been up to look at them hama could tell you as i let him take one home when he was here,before my time the last woods man showed me photos of the tree from about 15 years ago with a beech that had uprooted fallen in to the fork of this one causing a bit of damage in the fork and had to be pulled out with a 10 tonwinch as stem was in the fork with root in the air dont know if this has any relevence.a lot of the big beech on the park with fungi have a x scribed on the trunk makes me think pre hurricane a big thinning was going to take place or have been marked as some kind of survey but no one i have asked knows anything about it .
-

-
i been driving past this tree on a regular basis hadnt been past for 2 week then this appeared about 5"dia the tree has older brackets on it higher up just past the fork now 2 appeared on trunk was just surprised how fast they appeared

sounds a good way to deal with it tony is there any species that can cope well with it or will it just clean up any trees that are under stress?
-
Thanckyou for the advice Gerrit it is in a ornanental setting the problem we have is alot of new plantings 1-20years old and a big oak near by that has always looked illin health 50 percent of the chestnuts in the same area have gone
