Hi there, although I'm not a tree climber, I have a keen interest in things arboricultural, especially when it concerns felling specimens in our local area. Someone has applied to fell a TPO protected Ash because the Council tree officer thinks it might have Inonotus hispidus. He says there is no evidence of brackets, and some info that I have suggests that this fungus is rare on Ash (though looking at some posts on this forum says otherwise), and mainly appears on dead trees. Can anyone give me definitive chapter and verse please ? Thanks.
